25.01.2022 Hello Friends, Art Therapy is not yet recognised as a mental health profession in the mental health act. Recognition in the act would mean that registered art therapists could be employed in schools, hospitals, and the many other settings that have funding to employ a mental health professional. To be a registered art therapist one is required to have at least two years postgraduate training at a masters level. Please take a moment to sign this petition and help make art theray available to more people in our community.

18.01.2022 Art as Therapy in Canada has made this infographic that helps explain the difference between art therapy and an art class. If you have a look you will see there is quite a difference. Importantly, professionally registered art therapists have a two-year masters degree in art therapy (mental health) so they have the skills and knowledge to work with people from all backgrounds in many different ways! https://www.artastherapy.ca//whats-the-difference-between-

13.01.2022 Keep the creativity flowing with the 1015 EXPRESS art group online. In this art group for young people aged 10 15, it’s the art-making process, the sharing and the company that is most important. The online groups will remain small and personal, so each person can be supported to make the most of the materials they have on hand and develop their own ideas. Cost is $150 total for the eight-week program, this includes a sample pack of art materials which will be delivered to p...articipants in the Sunraysia area. Sessions run weekly 4pm-5:30 pm Thursdays. From 30th April to 18th June 2020. To book a place e-mail [email protected] or call 0410 772 058.

11.01.2022 As part of our new Music Therapy in the Mallee campaign, we’re answering some of the most frequently asked questions about Music Therapy. Today we’re sharing: W...hat is Music Therapy? Music Therapy is an allied health service which is delivered by a Registered Music Therapist. Music therapists use evidence based, musical techniques and interventions with participants of all ages to accomplish individualised, non-musical goals. In Music Therapy, therapeutic goals for individuals may include working on mobility, cognitive development, communication, emotional wellbeing and social interaction, just to name a few! Music Therapy can support goals from across many other allied health services such as Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy. Research shows that musical experiences stimulate multiple areas of the brain at once creating an environment for many ways of learning and growing. People of all ages and abilities can benefit from Music Therapy and no, you don’t need any exisiting musical skills to participate fully in Music Therapy! Sunraysia Arts and Learning is a Registered NDIS provider and offers Music Therapy across the Mallee. Director and Registered Music Therapist Catherine offers Music Therapy for individuals, groups and organisations. Contact us to find out how Music Therapy can work for you!
