Hospitality is more than a welcome, it’s a practice. On Monday, our students, faculty, alumni, supervisors, administrators, and colleagues gathered for the 31st Annual Creaive Arts Therapy Counseling Conference- a space where creativity reminded us that hospitality in our field means making room for voices, stories, and growth. A quiet vow that everyone who enters the room, now more than ever, belongs 💙💛 Grateful for the many hands and creative minds that helped make this conference possible, including the New York Art Therapy Association (NYATA), the Office of Continuing Education, our SHS Dean’s Office and Chair Dr. Nerlich, Hofstra community, Keynote speaker Dr. Lynn Kapitan, our very own CATCH board and student volunteers, and our phenomenal workshops clinicians who continue to pave the way for the field.
