Re:I need help finding a job in Art Therapy

Hi!

I've been out of grad school for almost five years nad have only ever seen three jobs listed for an ATR, and I have one of them! Occasionally residential centers or Hospice or a hospital will be looking for an ATR in particular. Once I began working in community mental ( I did At with almost all my cases) and networking in the community, I heard about specific AT jobs. I don't know where you graduated from, but my expereince has been that those wonderful studio-based jobs one dreams about in school don't exist and instead you find yourself with a caseload of ADHD/ODD boys and tennagers! But you can do AT with almost anyone. If you are really determined, get on the web, hit hospital and hospice websites country-wide, get listing of residential centers in each state and send resumes, etc.

Good Luck

Aimee
