Expressive therapists use visual art-making, drama, dance and movement to improve physical, mental and emotional well-being. They work with individuals or groups using arts processes such as painting to create meaning, rather than focussing on product. It has been evidentially proven that this type of therapy can be helpful for people who cannot verbalise their feelings due to developmental, cognitive, or other conditions.
Art / Play / Music therapy is a form of psychotherapy that is used to improve and enhance the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of participants. This form of therapy is an important part of comprehensive treatment programmes which allows individuals to express themselves, let off steam and be creative. WNSW PHN want to support people to explore new ways to relieve stress and cope with difficult emotions. Our programme will be designed to address service gaps in particular geographical areas and population groups and is designed to complement already existing services.
Importantly, we will be attempting to select service providers who have the necessary qualifications and experience to provide the required services.
