A major shift is underway for the ATCB as we transition from external management to self-management. Our Board of Directors and special committees are invested in building a new headquarters and enhancing ATCB’s operations. We’re undergoing an operational assessment and restructuring workflows to boost efficiencies in a way that controls costs in the face of rising operational expenses.

We have created specialized workflows and identified staff to manage the specific elements of the Art Therapy Credentials Board.
