| dc.description.abstract | With the rapid change in technology and the increasing mental health needs of children, school counsellors have had to adapt their practices accordingly (Bang et al., 2021). Combining creative arts interventions and technology may be a viable and effective adaptation for school counsellors to meet the needs of their 21st century students (Zubala et al., 2021; Zeevi, 2021) and may also enhance student motivation for engaging in the counselling process. Integrating arts-based technological interventions into the school counselling context is a way that students’ thoughts, emotions, and feelings may be accessed and/or expressed in different formats to assist school counsellors in supporting students’ mental health. Incorporating technological tools into arts-based interventions adds another dimension to the school counsellor’s role. To better understand how arts-based technological tools (ABTT) are being used by school counsellors, a scoping review was done to determine relevant themes in the existing research. Searches of APA PsycINFO, Web of Science and Scopus databases were done using keywords centering on school counsellors and interventions using the creative arts/arts-based interventions and technology. Supplementary articles were identified through reference lists and manual searching of relevant journals. 679 references were retrieved, with an additional 20 from handsearching other sources. 13 full-text articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Findings of the scoping review indicated several benefits and challenges of ABTT, highlighting the need for professional development for school counsellors and an understanding of if and how an ABTT can really enhance their practice based on the students that they serve. Limitations of the review are identified as well as implications and future directions for research. | |
