FOR AGENCIES – *NDIS registered providerarts therapy
Multiple or complex needs clients are often one of the most challenging client groups to engage. Some anxiety or resistance is normal when starting therapy, and is often felt more acutely by this client group. They can often reject “talking” therapies making it difficult for the Case Manager or Support Worker to provide a therapeutic component to their Case Plan. In the arts therapy session, the focus of the session is on the art making, which reduces the initial anxiety of the client to attending therapy/counselling. The arts therapy session can be provided off site, either taking place in the client’s home, or close to the client’s home, thereby further reducing anxiety, stress or resistance that is often experienced by this client group when attending doctors, specialists or mental health appointments. The arts therapy sessions focuses on both the needs of the client as well as meeting service outcomes in line with the Care Plan or NDIS Plan. The art making component provides both a bridge to establishing a therapeutic alliance as well as providing interesting, stimulating, soothing and challenging arts based activities and projects. Through art making, the client’s self esteem improves, their confidence increases, trauma can be processed and integrated and there is often a reduction in ‘harming’ or challenging behaviours. Insight can develop, tension can be released, behaviours are modified, and self awareness increases. Client’s experience an overall increase in functioning and over time the client can lead a more productive, enjoyable and meaningful life. The length of a typical session is 1 hour in duration. All art materials are included in the cost of the session. Want more information?
