Recently, I set up a volunteer activity for my supervision group, pointing out that in the ATCB Code of Professional Practice: 1.1.5.6 Art therapists are encouraged, whenever possible, to recognize a responsibility to participate in activities that contribute to a better community and society, including devoting a portion of their professional activity to services for which there is little or no financial return. I contacted the local Chamber of Commerce who were sponsoring a street fair and asked them if we could volunteer and provide free arts and crafts for kids. They provided us a space, free of charge, and we brought art supplies to make Halloween decorations. We had kids of many ages participate and they all seemed to enjoy the opportunity to do something creative and fun.
