Community Therapeutic Arts Workshops
Community Therapeutic Arts Groups are not a psychotherapeutic mental health service as such - but are a great way to have fun, have some relaxed play time in a supportive environment, learn a new skill or a creative or expressive modality, learn a little more about yourself and others, team build and make a new friend or two - which can be just as healing or meaningful!
These workshops are ideal for established integrative therapy spaces, outdoor spaces, community centres and libraries and are tailored to the needs and interests of the community group.
Ideal for such groups like:
✨Other Creative Arts and Experiential Therapists and other Mental Health and Allied Health teams
✨Women’s Groups and Circles
✨Kids after-school, weekend and school holiday programs
✨Alternative spirituality groups - those who follow non-Western or earth-based spiritual paths
✨Seniors and aged care inc. Probus and CWA
✨Queer and gender diverse community groups
✨Autistic and ADHD support groups
✨Workplace team building
