A 6 week art therapy group for kids in grades 5 and 6, who have experienced or witnessed family violence.
Making art can help us to tell our stories and make sense of our experiences. Plus, it is a fun creative way to get to know ourselves better as well as others in the group. Helping us to appreciate who we are, our special talents and gifts, and to see these gifts in others too.
Art therapy helps us to:
- express thoughts, ideas, and emotions
- manage difficult feelings, like anger and worry
- learn to problem solve and build resilience
- grow confidence and self-esteem
- improve social skills
A fun, safe and supportive space that encourages listening and caring.
Participation is free and all art materials will be provided. No artistic skills necessary!
This program is provided by Doncare in partnership with Anglicare Victoria.
