An interesting perspective on mental health and well-being. Diagnosis is not directly related to mental illness or well-being.
On the contrary, someone with a ‘diagnosed’ mental health condition could have high mental well-being.
Its important not to assume what someone’s mental health looks like and to have a dialogue about it if they are comfortable.

We have two amazing creative arts events coming up for this mental health week.
Putting events together takes months of core planning meeting, co-ordination between venues and zoom catch ups with some wonderful therapists.
We’ve navigated a cafe fire and relocating venues, problem solving for numbers, marketing, resourcing and managing multiple schedules all to put filter some free mental health events to promote creative art therapies.
It’s been great to work with who has been such a force of nature taking this forward along with , Lalita, , Jess and .
We’ve were pleasantly surprised with so many registrations and we can’t wait!

Experienced Art, Movement and Music Therapists come together to provide an afternoon of simple, guided arts therapy practices that you can add to your self-care program, use with clients or in your team meetings to regulate nervous systems whenever you need to.
We work with complex clients each week, and have experienced the power of simple art activities to regulate emotions, nervous systems and create 'happy brains' even in the face of the sometimes tragic experiences of our clients. Intention is the key to arts therapy, using mindfulness in a specific way to transform emotional states in short periods of time.
You have probably experienced the power of a song to transform your mood, or maybe you doodle while in meetings? In a similar way the arts used therapeutically can transform clients and practitioners alike. We are here to provide some evidence based practices so you can take them home and to work and help even more clients. We all have accreditation with ANZACATA or PACFA our therapeutic bodies and have trained extensively in arts therapy (and trauma work), so we are going to be able to answer your questions about the arts in mental health either as Arts Therapy or Art As Therapy.
Come and relax with some lovely peers in a groovy environment for the evening. Stay as long or short as you like, but the food is seriously YUM! So you can swing by after work and enjoy your evening with us.

in Brisbane.
