year 10 wellbeing

2023 | High School, Reservoir

As part of the recent government initiative of the Mental Health Menu, we facilitated a four week Art Therapy program with a group of Year 10 students onsite at their school.

The program provided students an opportunity to:

  • Relax: Taking advantage of the relaxing qualities that a wide range of art materials offer, students were invited to experiment with new media & processes that they could use in their own time.

  • Reflect: An opportunity for students to explore thoughts, feelings and experiences around mental health and identity in a therapeutic environment, offering both internal and external time for reflecting.

  • Reconnect: Through the use of the above 2 opportunities, students were able to use art-making and sharing as tools to reconnect with themselves and their peers.
