The Melbourne Art Therapy Studio is committed to providing high quality Art Therapy for groups and individuals through mental health and allied services, catering to the specific needs of the group or individual.
One example of our work…
The Melbourne Art Therapy Studio and the Parent Support Network held a one night only exhibit of artworks created by participants of the 2007 ‘Coloured Emotions’ art therapy group for parents of children with special needs. The 10 week group’s focus was self-care, creative expression with plenty of opportunity for participants to connect with one another. Stories were shared and artwork was created about personal hopes, fears, frustrations and life in general when parenting children with special needs. Below is feedback from one participant who will be back for more in the 2008 group...
“Just had my last Art Therapy session and feeling a little lost, what am I going to do on a Thursday morning now, no more Celia or all the other ladies I got to know and share my life with!
I want more please!!!!!
It was just brilliant and thank-you PSN for the opportunity you gave us to attend this amazing course.
Keep on being arty/farty!”
Other services we have partnered include Community Health, Youth and Family services, Drug and Alcohol services and support for carers in the community.
