Job description

Scottish Adoption in partnership with Edinburgh Art Therapy Centre are proposing to run a pilot programme to establish whether art therapy can be used as a successful approach in terms of building quick and secure attachments in the early days of adoption placements.

We are recruiting 2 Art Therapists to come on board to help develop and deliver this pilot programme to our adoptive families to establish whether or not art therapy is a suitable intervention. Experience working with young people and families, and extensive knowledge of attachment theory is necessary.

This position requires travel and some flexibility with hours.

The appointment will be subject to becoming a member of the PVG scheme for working with children. Art Therapists must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council.

CPD WORKSHOP

                   When Narcissus Altered the Earth: Ecological Themes in Therapy

Presenter Michael Wilson
Date: 2nd of March Venue: Eltham Suite -Eric Liddell Centre Time: 10-1pm
Workshop Details
With the myth of Narcissus as our starting point, this exploration will consider meaning and purpose in relation to a view of human beings as a “planet altering species” (Brian Swimme). Crucially, the day will consider core ecological themes, such as our relationship with the natural world, and the challenge of listening to the “voices” of the earth (Theodore Roszak). We will also consider the psychological impact of environmental issues when presented in therapy, for instance, as grief, guilt, fear, anxiety, and so on, and the challenge of finding meaning in a rapidly changing world. A key focus for this day will be on how ecological themes come into therapy, and the way the therapist might recognise the often subtle nature of these, and address them.
This practical exploration will involve theoretical input, and discussion, and participants are requested to bring a dream containing a nature theme.
About the presenter
Michael Wilson is a UKCP registered psychotherapist, transpersonal psychologist, and ecopsychologist, practising both in Edinburgh and Berwick-upon-Tweed. His co-authored book Creative Ethical Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy was published by SAGE in 2012. Website: www.michaelwilson.uk.com

Happy New Year!!

(even though it is February)

This is just a message to inform you all that EATC is still here, sorry for not posting in a while, we have been very busy building a base for the centre!

Since December we have received funding from The Neighbourhood Partnership (Edinburgh City Council), to run art therapy sessions with people living with a diagnosis of dementia. This project is running successfully at the Eric Liddell Centre and is reaching out to local care homes. We are currently seeking funding to continue and develop this project.

We are now partners with the Scottish Adoption Association, and through the Cattanach Trust have received funding to work with adoptive families as an early intervention programme. This project will be up and running shortly.

We have been selected for the Waitrose Community Matters fund, and would greatly appreciate your help in popping that little green token into the EATC box in order for us to get a donation towards the centre.

We will be taking referalls through the centre very shortly and will have a team of art therapists here to help you!

Watch out for our new website coming soon!
