Explore your way to wellbeing during Mental Health Awareness Week

This year Mental Health Awareness Week will be held from Monday 23rd to Sunday 29th September 2019.

Despite the recent positive Government commitment towards improving mental health accessibility, the waiting list for individuals is unacceptably long and difficult to access.

What is Sensory Art Therapy

Sensory Art is based on nonscientific research, psychological theory and expressive art therapy. Practicing sensory art focuses on the brain is capacity to adapt and develop pathways to learning through stimulation of the senses.

Sensory art activities have been shown to produce changes in the brain that reflect improvements in enhanced attention skills and cognition with participants often showing significant gains in emotional awareness, communication, coping, emotional awareness, creative thinking and sensory information processing. 

The sensory art program also involves the fine tuning of fine and gross motor ability, visual and hand eye coordination.
Kapiti Art Therapy offers Sensory Art programs for individuals, groups and community based programs.
