Our Vision

Creative Arts Therapies Canada (CATC) is an alternative and holistic healthcare organization with a mission of fostering awareness of the creative arts therapies and creative arts therapy services throughout Canada.

Our goal is to facilitate enriching connections between healthcare facilities, organizations, and institutions; and highly skilled and passionate licensed creative arts therapists.

In addition, CATC is committed to serving, promoting, and advocating for each therapeutic modality and allied arts in therapy; including but not limited to, Art Therapy, Drama Therapy, Music Therapy, Play Therapy, Horticultural Therapy, and Dance/Movement Therapy.

The creative process allows for artistic self-expression which in turn helps individuals to solve conflicts, improve self-esteem, develop self-awareness, and insight.
