About Vancouver Art Therapy Institute

The Vancouver Art Therapy Institute (VATI) was founded in 1982 as a non-profit society and charitable organization. The institute has been accredited by the Private Career Training Institutions Agency of British Columbia (PCTIA) since 1998 and follows the educational standards of the Canadian Art Therapy Association. VATI is committed to providing an educational experience that cultivates student creativity, self-awareness, and therapeutic competence. We aim to train art therapists who are active members of the art therapy community, and good ambassadors to the larger community. We achieve our goals by training the student at a graduate level in a way that challenges the student to grow intellectually, and professionally. VATI offers coursework that is delivered by a diverse and accomplished faculty. This allows the students to develop a solid understanding of current theory and practice in the field.
