Trauma Art Narrative Therapy (TANT)
Trauma Art Narrative Therapy (TANT) is a non-interpretive drawing method designed to help resolve trauma-based symptoms and behaviors related to a specific traumatic event exposure. This workshop provides the principles and step-by-step process of the TANT method so clinicians can confidently integrate it into practice. This is an experiential, clinical training designed for professionals actively working with clients impacted by traumatic stress exposure.
Dr. Bills, a senior medical director at Community Care Behavioral Health and the developer of TANT, will be presenting this Behavioral Health Services of Somerset and Bedford Counties (BHSSBC) sponsored training.
