What is a REACE®?
A Registered Expressive Arts Consultant/Educator (REACE®) is a professional who facilitates Intermodal Expressive Arts for a broad range of purposes including creative expression, personal growth, social action and community building, in areas such as education, organizational development, health fields and more.
A REACE® has demonstrated and documented their mastery in the application of integrative/intermodal expressive arts facilitation. The cornerstone of their work is fluency and the ability to facilitate multiple modalities such as visual art, movement, dance, creative writing, music and poetry using an integrative/intermodal approach.
The REACE® designation from the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association indicates that this professional has met all necessary training and experience requirements and is an expert in the field.

REACE Advisory
REACE advisory is a non-clinical session designed to support Expressive Arts facilitators. These advisory sessions focus on developing intermodal expressive arts facilitation skills through discussion and guidance with credentialed REACE®s. The advisory sessions focus on intermodal expressive arts facilitation, which involves layering and sequencing different art forms to provide maximum benefit to clients.
Unlike supervision, REACE® advisory does not involve evaluation or educational directives. Instead, REACE® advisors offer insights aimed at enhancing the professional practice of intermodal expressive arts facilitators, without binding the recipient’s future professional behaviour.
Objectives of REACE® Advisory:
● Support practitioners in intermodal expressive arts, typically involving the sequencing or layering of two or more art modalities.
● Provide resources to strengthen knowledge across various areas.
● Help applicants reduce barriers to achieving 2,000 work hours while maintaining facilitation quality.
