I want too help heal with art as well

I have just finished my art degree with a minor in behavioral science. It was not until working for the past year and a half that i have realized the direction in which I want to share my natural talent of art. I have been working at a group home for children with mental health issues steming from abusive backgrounds, whether it be physical, sexual, or mental abuse. I watched as my interaction with them on a one on one basis while creating a picture or just doodling would open them up to areas in which they would not show before. I have done some research and am now trying too get the write info on where to continue my education in order too be able too reach the goal of a art therapist. It is a long road but I can already see the benifits it will make to them. If anyone has some info they would liks to share that would be great.
