Can you help us?

Social health matters!!
Feeling connected, seen and part of something meaningful is just as important to our wellbeing as physical and mental health.

Across Tasmania, creative and arts-based programs are quietly doing powerful work, bringing people together through music, art, movement, storytelling and shared experiences. This is arts on prescription in action: low-cost, accessible creative spaces that support connection, purpose and wellbeing for adults of all ages.

At Creative Therapies Tasmania, we’re currently updating our information to help people find low-cost creative and arts programs across Tasmania, especially those that support social connection, inclusion and wellbeing.

We have most of the North West covered, but would love some more help across all of Tasmania.

We know we won’t catch them all without the collective wisdom of our community 💛

If you know of an organisation, group or program that offers creative, community-based activities for adults, please tag them in the comments below so we can add them to our list and help more people find their way in.

If you're in a choir, an orchestra, an art group, a dance group please help us find them and tag below

We'll collate all of our knowledge and reshare

Every year, Spotify Wrapped arrives like a tiny time capsule. Its a snapshot of who we were, what we survived, and what held us together over the last 12 months.

It’s easy to laugh at how many times we played that one song, but I think Wrapped tells a deeper story. It shows the rhythms our bodies needed, the patterns our brains relied on, and the comfort we sought in melody, repetition or nostalgia.

For many neurodivergent brains, music isn’t “background noise”, it’s regulation, structure, identity, and connection. The loops, the favourites, the hyperfixation tracks… they say something real about how we move through the world. They reflect the ways we soothe ourselves, energise ourselves, and anchor ourselves when things feel overwhelming.

So if your Wrapped feels chaotic, predictable, emotional, eclectic, or the same five songs on repeat, it isn’t trivial. That’s data about a year you lived through. A year where you kept going. A year where music helped you make sense of things.

Wear it proudly.

Your music says more about your heart and your nervous system than it ever will about your “taste.”

On a side note, we love recieving screen shots of everyone's data.. including this one today. To make it to the top 0.08% of global fas for the Wiggles is an outstanding achievement.

So roughly:

112 minutes of The Wiggles every week
= about 1 hour and 52 minutes of wiggly goodness… weekly.

Honestly? That’s elite-level commitment to fruit salad energy.

Today we honour the International Day of People with Disability, a day to recognise the diversity, creativity and resilience of people with disability, and to reflect on the work we all do to build communities where everyone can thrive.

At Creative Therapies Tasmania, we see every week how music can lift, support and express what words sometimes can’t. So today we’re sharing a song that feels especially fitting: Andra Day’s Rise Up.

This song has been sung in our therapy rooms, in choirs, in community spaces. It's a quiet anthem for moments when courage is needed, when regulation feels hard, when connection makes all the difference.

As we share Rise Up today, we acknowledge
đź’™ The strength of people with disability
đź’™ The supporters, families and workers walking alongside
đź’™ The music, creativity and community that help us rise

We also acknowledge the systemic barriers many still face, especially during this time of NDIS change and uncertainty. Our commitment remains to stand with compassion, advocate fiercely, and continue offering spaces where people can express themselves, connect deeply, and be met with dignity.

Watch the official music video for Rise Up by Andra Day from the album Cheers To The Fall.đź”” Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/AndraDayMusi...
