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.
Options include:
Tailored Art Therapy groups run for a set number of weeks (e.g. term or 8 weeks).
An onsite Art Therapist in your school for a regular set time/day, for individual or group work.
Programs for parents are available, such as Tuning in to Kids® and Circle of security.
Supporting educational staff, offering workshops in the school. Topics include (educating on trauma, emotional regulation, psychological safety).
Critical Incident Debrief services are available for staff in school, in our location or online.
