Program Summary:

Module nine of the International Association for Wellness Counseling (IAWC) Certified Wellness Counselor’s (CWC) course is a review of creative wellness. A brief lecture talks through the impact exercising our creativity can have on our overall well-being. Two peer-reviewed articles will expand on this, adding depth to both how the creative process impacts our brain, as well as how creativity positively impacts the counseling process.

Learning Objectives:
