Creative Interventions, Laughter Therapy, and Clown Doctoring

October 9 & 10 in AKSOB 0903, October 16 & 17 in Gezairi Building 403

Beirut campus

Creative therapeutic interventions offer powerful tools for emotional expression, healing, and communication, particularly among individuals facing medical, psychological, or developmental challenges. This certificate provides participants with theoretical foundations and hands-on experience in applying creative interventions across various clinical, health, and educational settings.

The training brings together experts from complementary disciplines, including yoga laughter therapy and clown doctoring, in working with oncology patients and those with health difficulties, as well as with children on the autistic spectrum, or those with learning disabilities. Through experiential learning and reflection, participants will explore the therapeutic potential of creative processes in fostering resilience, connection, and well-being.

By the end of this workshop you will be able to:

  • Understand the principles and benefits of creative therapies in diverse contexts (mental health, oncology, special education). 
  • Apply creative and expressive techniques in individual and group settings.
  • Integrate laughter, movement, and improvisation into therapeutic practice.
  • Recognize the ethical and emotional dimensions of creative interventions.
  • Collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary professionals using art-based approaches.

If you’re a psychologist, psychotherapist, art therapist, counselor, educator, or if you’re part of medical staff (nurses and medical doctors) or are interested in the use of creative therapeutic techniques, join us for an immersive exploration of these unique approaches to therapy.
