What is a Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) Listening Session?

A listening session is like a focus group: a facilitated discussion with a group of people, aimed at collecting information about their experiences, views, and responses to questions about topics related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

Group: Current and Former AATA Volunteers

This group includes AATA Committee & Work Group Chairs, Committee & Work Group Members, and AATA Chapter Leaders who are currently volunteering or served in these roles previously within the Association or active with their state or regional art therapy organization’s Board of Directors.

Important Note on Participant Confidentiality

Ground rules and guidelines are established in each group to help foster participant trust. Participants must agree to group confidentiality and not to take notes, photography, or audio and video recordings. 

The DEI facilitator taking notes will use a method that provides a reporting of the overall group’s responses and themes but does not track or identify specific participants (i.e. who said what) but provides a reporting of the overall group’s responses and themes. Facilitator notes are available for participants to review and verify. Facilitator notes are available for participants to review and verify.
