If I sign up for a few modules and then decide to sign up for the rest of them to complete the 35-hour SEA Certificate Track, am I still eligible to receive a social emotional arts certificate?

Yes, as long as you complete the requirements for the full SEA Certificate Track.


Are the modules pre-recorded or live?

Modules are implemented live for maximum engagement; however, you can access recordings anytime to catch up or review the material.

All modules will be implemented online via Zoom.


What if I miss a module I enrolled in? 

No problem. You will receive video recordings of all the modules you have registered for, and can watch the missed session at your convenience.

Do you offer financial assistance? 

We believe that learning and practicing approaches that support healing and well-being should be financially accessible. Therefore, we've intentionally priced the Social Emotional Arts Professional Development program with affordability in mind. Participants may also register for one module at a time, allowing them to make payments over time rather than pay for the full program upfront. For those who need additional financial assistance, a limited number of partial scholarships are available. To inquire, please contact us at info@artsandhealinginitiative.org.



Is an application required?

To further align with our goal for all of our programming to be accessible and inclusive to all, we will no longer be requiring an application for consideration.
