Four distinct professional programs to help build healthy communities
Our graduates are committed to a strong sense of ethical and social responsibility, and they stand out as professional leaders within their respective fields. Our faculty members are experienced professionals, educators, and researchers who believe in experiential education that centres care and creativity and that is guided by our commitment to equity, accessibility, diversity, and sustainability. Together, we work to prepare future art therapists, drama therapists, music therapists, and play therapists for multiple career pathways in community, school, health care, and mental health care settings.
We value the arts as an inherent expression of humanity, and the creative arts therapies as essential to individual and collective health and well-being. We strive collectively to foster inclusive, accessible, and sustainable learning, teaching and research environments. Through collaborative relational work, we support and empower students, faculty, and staff to build meaningful and dynamic careers as creative arts therapies practitioners and advocates.
CENTRE FOR THE ARTS IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
The Centre for the Arts in Human Development (CAHD) at Concordia University is an educational, clinical and research centre serving adults with developmental disabilities and other special needs populations. An effective practicum training site for creative arts therapies graduate students, this training is unique in Canada because it integrates the creative arts therapies under the auspices of the Centre and provides opportunities for practical training and learning directly from faculty in the Creative Arts Therapies programs.
