GEOGRAPHIC REACH
You can see on the map below all the institutions we are or have been collaborating with. There are more than 240 centers in which Master’s in Art Therapy students are doing or have been doing their clinical internships.
Students implement various intervention projects throughout their clinical internships and we continue collaborating with each center to ensure that future art therapy students can do so as well. If you belong to a center, school or institution and you wish to become a part of our network and to receive art therapy interns, write to us at coord.at@metafora.org.
ROLE IN SOCIETY
The Master’s in Art Therapy at Metàfora fulfills an important social role in the community, with students providing voluntary psychiatric support to people of all ages and conditions. Hundreds of people from children to the elderly are benefiting from this type of help.
During their training, masters students (majority women) complete 600 hours of supervised interning by specialized personnel. Individual and group treatments are offered in weekly sessions and can be short term or long term (up to two years).
