CiiAT - The Canadian International Institute of Art Therapy is Designated by the Private Training Institutions Regulatory Unit (PTIRU)

Clinical Placement Contract

Thank you for considering , one of our art psychotherapy students, for a clinical placement at your agency. We endeavour to find placement sites suitable for each student’s individual skills and interests to ensure a rich learning experience, and to help fulfill the needs of each site's client (or participant) population.

Students of the Clinical Art Therapy Diploma program are encouraged to design practicum experiences that will best meet their learning needs. A great deal of flexibility can be maintained because our Institute is small enough to give a highly individualized learning experience. Students often seek out an area of choice and independently negotiate a mutually agreeable contract with agency personnel such as yourself.

It is our hope that this would be a valued learning experience for you as well as for the student. We wish to support you in ensuring a fulfilling experience for all concerned. What you can be assured of from the CiiAT program is:

Email or phone contact with the school’s practicum supervisors as required.
Supervision of the student, at least one hour of supervision per ten direct client contact hours, specifically aimed at monitoring the art therapy interventions and student progress.

Your interest in participating in the practicum component of CiiAT training is greatly appreciated. Well-rounded expertise can only come through direct involvement with participants and clients when the application of the theory becomes practical and integrated into the student’s learning.

If you have questions, email the Managing Director of Clinical Services [email protected]. Thank you for your willingness to give art therapy and our students a chance to grow.
