Activities during Creative Arts Therapies week will emphasize the role of the therapist in facilitating and supporting the unique tools and abilities of participant with whom they are working. In workshops, information sessions, film viewings and conferences open to the public, interested individuals will be encouraged to learn first hand how collaborative experimentation in music, theatre, dance and art lead to increased resolution and healing in social, intercultural and interpersonal problems.

Guylaine Vaillancourt, Department of Creative Arts Therapies faculty member and professional music therapist, is proud to introduce author-composer-interprete Gaële as the official spokesperson of Creative Arts Therapies week.

“Her innate sense of the power of creativity and the richness of her songs evoque values from which we also draw, as creative arts therapists.”
