Art Therapy Groups

Our Mindful Youth provide Therapeutic Supports to children and young people in Geelong and The Bellarine Peninsula, with a focus on mental health. Our services aim to empower clients with the knowledge and skills needed to increase their level of independence and improve their mental and physical health. 

Our Mindful Youth's groups provide our clients the opportunity to creatively develop social skills, emotional regulation skills and sensory regulation skills in a social setting. As well as this, the space gives everyone involved the chance to connect, support each other and have fun together.

 

Our Art Therapy groups are facilitated by our Art Therapist, Christine Chamoun and one of our therapy assistants. These groups are for those who wish to explore their emotions through image making in a safe environment. Directive exercises are given each session to assist in this process and a sense of trust is formed allowing group members to take risks and discover more about themselves.  A variety of techniques are used to facilitate this including: visualisation, guided imagery, creative writing, movement and play. All imagery created in the therapeutic relationship or art therapy session is treated with respect and confidentiality applies. Artworks remain the property of each group member. As part of the program, you will be given a visual diary to assist you in exploring what emerges in each session and to support you in your creative process.
