“Art can permeate the very deepest part of us, where no words exist.” – Eileen Miller
The world can be a magical and exciting place through the eyes of young people. It can also be scary and overwhelming. Young people often show us how they are coping through their behaviours and emotions. I support young people by entering their world through arts/crafts, play, and music.
Ballarat Art Therapies has been delivering art therapy in schools within Ballarat and the surrounding region for the past 8 years. I work within school settings to support students’ emotional, social, and mental health wellbeing. I offer a range of evidence-based group programs designed to respond to the needs of both students and schools, along with the option of individual support.
Emphasis is placed on the psychological and therapeutic processes within a growth mindset, rather than on art education.
Programs are reviewed and assessed both internally and externally.
