Specialist group art therapy programs

Specialist groups are available to anyone. They are not about being an artist, no prior experience is needed.

Nurturing you

Do you spend time going from one thing to the next, sometimes feeling stressed and confused?

Come join us in a supportive nurturing space, express creatively and share therapeutic conversations that will assist you to understand and reduce your stress, worries and concerns.

This program provides opportunities to discover what you need to improve your own health and wellbeing and to learn new ways to make helpful and lasting change.

Caring for carers

The caring role can be very rewarding, but there may be moments when you may feel isolated and alone. Unhelpful feelings and experiences may occupy your thoughts.

This group provides carers the opportunity to meet other carers, be supported and understood in expressing your needs while working towards improved health and wellbeing. Sessions include meaningful conversations and creative art expressions.
