We are excited to share the achievement of Julie Billiart Schools Art Therapist, Diane Hughes! Mrs. Hughes has been honored with the Outstanding Applied Creative Practice Award from the American Art Therapy Association (AATA). This prestigious award recognizes individuals whose contributions as an artist and art therapist have significantly influenced the art therapy profession.
Mrs. Hughes' dedication to using art as a therapeutic tool has had a profound impact on the lives of Julie Billiart School students. Art therapy at JB promotes mental and emotional growth through art-making, focusing on the process rather than the final product. This approach allows students to express themselves freely, build self-esteem, and develop important social skills.
The American Art Therapy Association (AATA) is a leading organization dedicated to advancing the field of art therapy. This award highlights Mrs. Hughes' significant contributions to the profession and her commitment to using art as a powerful tool for healing and growth.
Julie Billiart Schools is proud to have such a talented and dedicated art therapist on their team. Mrs. Hughes’ work exemplifies the school’s commitment to providing a holistic education that addresses the unique needs of each student.
