This unique parental art therapy group offers a nurturing space for parents to focus on their own wellbeing as they navigate the changes of becoming a parent. Each session combines nurse-led psychoeducation with creative art-making activities designed to support emotional regulation and social connectedness.
The group is dedicated to helping parents build confidence and reflective capacity, emphasizing self-care rather than parent-child interaction. It's a perfect opportunity for parents seeking connection and personal growth during this transformative time.
Expect a warm, welcoming environment where you can express yourself creatively and gain valuable insights into your parenting journey.
The program runs over six weekly sessions, each lasting 1.5 hours, held on Tuesdays from 13:00 to 14:30. The series starts on October 27, 2026, and concludes around December 15, 2026.
Sessions are led by experienced nurses who guide participants through psychoeducational content paired with art therapy exercises. This combination supports emotional wellbeing and helps parents develop new coping strategies.
This is not a parent-child group; the focus remains on the parent's personal growth and emotional health.
The group meets at 45 Dickson Street, Sunshine, Victoria, 3020. This accessible location is easy to reach by public transport and offers a comfortable setting for creative activities.
Parking options are available nearby, and the venue is suitable for parents attending with or without children.
Participants are encouraged to arrive a few minutes early to settle in and prepare for the session.
This group is designed specifically for parents transitioning into parenthood and aims to foster emotional regulation, social connection, and confidence.
Please note that this is not a drop-in group; attendance across all six sessions is encouraged for the best experience.
