Testimonials
"Some of our most vulnerable and complex young people have had the opportunity to participate in the Art Therapy Collective's art processes and group work. We have witnessed significant and positive growth in these children and young adults, in particular mood shifts, improved self-esteem and an increased sense of belonging. These positive steps have supported these students to actively re-engage in their learning."
Catherine Kirby, Kids like Us CEO, Innovator and Advocate
"I looked forward to our Friday sessions knowing I could unwind and let the creative side of me shine. My art therapist was gentle, supportive and compassionate. I would highly recommend art therapy sessions"
Rosemary
"The first BGS boys to experience art therapy classes were the year 5 boys during term 4. During three workshops under expert management, the boys honed skills in respectful sharing and listening, empathy, and being more supportive of each other"
Meliora Sequamur - Brighton Grammar Community Summer Journal
"Year 5 were lucky enough to have the opportunity to take part in an Art Therapy experiential, as part of our Unit of Inquiry on How we express ourselves. All the girls agreed that Art Therapy was a wonderful way to express yourself without having to use words and that it had a positive impact on their mood and behaviour."
