teacher wellbeing

At the same time that we were rolling out a 4 week art therapy program for a group of year 10 students, the same high school invited us to facilitate a group Art Therapy space for the teachers.

This session not only offered teachers insight into what the students may experience within their sessions, but also gave them the opportunity to relax, reflect and reconnect as their new term was beginning. 

With an enormous ‘scribble & fill’ being the foundation of the collaborative art-making, teachers were invited to experiment with art materials and prioritise a sense of play.

Many teachers shared how different the experience was in comparison to art classes and verbalised a great deal of gratitude for the chance to just sit, play and relax.
