Dear FATA Members:

Greetings from Tallahassee!  I am writing to personally invite you to participate in a research survey regarding art therapy and career-focused art therapy services.

In collaboration with FSU colleague Dr. Debra Osborn, professor, and career development researcher, I hope to contribute to the body of knowledge regarding art therapists’ views and experiences with clients’ career-focused concerns and goals that may arise within art therapy sessions. Additionally, we hope to identify the approaches and interventions art therapists are contributing to this work.

Your views and experiences are valuable!  We are interested in responses from all art therapists regardless of whether you have addressed career issues within your practice.  Completion of the IRB-approved (Florida State University # 00006057) survey will take about 15 minutes. All participation is voluntary.

We recommend using a computer, laptop, or tablet to take the survey due to visual images within the survey.

You can contribute to this research by following this link to the survey: https://tinyurl.com/4rxy7ar9

With appreciation and thanks for your consideration.
