23.01.2022 Anxious, depressed, or exhausted? You’re not alone. We’re all feeling it. It has a name Pandemic Fatigue. The idea that there’s a specific syndrome we might call pandemic fatigue is probably just a shorthand way of saying that we’ve reached a bit of a mental health breaking point. We’re stressed, isolated, lonely, burned out, and more depressed and anxious than we’ve been in a long time. David Sbarra, clinical psychologist & Professor University of Arizona ... Your Mental Health is Our Priority CATA’s FREE Online Art Therapy Initiative is ongoing. Please reach out to us if you are in need of support. We are here to help.

23.01.2022 "Take a Brain Break" - Free Online Art Therapy UPDATE The physical burden of restrictions and lockdowns has given CATA the opportunity to pivot services to Tec...hnology Enabled Health for online service delivery. This service opened on the 16th July, increasing our ability to work with any Australian in need. With over 300+ sessions delivered (thus far), the most common emotional challenges include, anxiety, depression, isolation, lack of motivation, loss and grief and suicide ideation. We simply could not turn away the continuous requests for help coming directly to our website, emails and telephone lines. Unable to utilise funds raised in 2019 for face to face facilitation, we redirected these funds to online service delivery. Safety & priority to your Mental Health - CATA’s service to you. Please share with those who may need extra support.

10.01.2022 Creating artwork allows your mind to be in a safe place while it contemplates the tougher issues you are dealing with. One can use the tools of brush, paint, pastels, crayons etc to expose and even for a short time colour those issues in a different light. -George E.
