Amy Morrison, Program Director of the Art Therapy Concentration in the School of Counseling, Psychology, and Therapy, Counseling Division, at Antioch University’s New England campus, participated in the 2025 Therapeutic Arts Paraprofessional Training in Africa (TAPTA) program in Kenya last February.
Sponsored by the Global Alliance for Africa, this initiative brought together creative arts therapists and related professionals worldwide to collaborate with East African artists and counselors in a cross-cultural exchange. Through workshops, skill-sharing, and community consultation, Morrison contributed to developing trauma-informed, culturally grounded therapeutic arts programs aimed at supporting vulnerable children, youth, and families across the region. Morrison has shared her experience with students, and they have collectively participated in art-making projects connected with the Global Africa Alliance.
