What is being done to increase job opportunities?
Loyola Marymount University does considerable public relations about family art therapy for the mental health community. Students in their field placements have shown institutions the benefit of Art Therapy. In addition, faculty and alumni are part of a Speaker’s Bureau which provides professional Art Therapy presentations to staff members of various institutions and academic settings. The reputation of our program is outstanding. Institutions often contact the school requesting our graduates to fill new positions which are being created. Finally, the department sponsors an Alumni Job Line which is frequently updated with art therapy job openings.
