    In our work as supervisors we have been in the privileged position to witness the innovative and valuable work supervisees have been doing with their NDIS clients.

    We have connected with the deep level of commitment both on a therapeutic and business level, as many supervisees have set up studios with all the ongoing costs involved in order to facilitate art therapy for NDIS clients.

    We have an understanding of the benefits the art therapy work has given their clients and how this, has in turn, benefited their family relationships.

    This group can give a space where supervisors can articulate and creatively express their huge sense of concern and duty of care for their supervisees and the therapeutic relationships they have built.

    Together as a group we will explore how best to support our supervisees through this difficult terrain.

    • We will share ideas on how to empower our supervisees in this disempowering arena.
    • We will discuss ways supervisees can be a part of ANZACATA as a force of advocacy for art therapy.
    • We will discuss ways to help supervisees to manage the possible changes to their client relationships.
    • We will look at practical ways supervisees can manage the financial distress of these changes.

    Please note this event is open to ANZACATA-approved supervisors of supervisees with NDIS clients ONLY.

    PRESENTER:

    Penelope James is passionate about helping fellow art therapists develop their professional practice. She feels privileged to have had the opportunity to supervise art therapists working in the NDIS sector. She brings to supervision extensive experience as a group and individual art therapist. This includes working in clinical mental health with a range of mental health presentations. An essay of her clinical work: 'Integrating DBT-Informed Psychoeducation with Visual Journaling,' has been published in 'DBT-Informed Art Therapy in Practice' edited by Susan M. Clark (2021). She received a mental health award for her art therapy work in community health. She has worked with NDIS clients, the Department of Corrective Services and in private practice. Penelope trained in both Arts-Based and RISE-UP supervision and she offers guidance on the many facets of art therapists professional life.

    How are you faring at this tricky moment? Whether you see NDIS participants directly or not, you will likely be affected by current upheavals.

    We are an ecosystem.

    You are invited to book in to an online gathering to make art and connect – to feel less alone with it all. Together, we will cultivate a safe, non-judgemental environment, where the wisdom of art-making and the power of peers can work their restorative medicines.

    What to expect? Art-making is at the core. You will be gently guided with a grounding practice to stand you in good stead. There will be room to express how things are right now. You will be encouraged to tap your existing self-sustenance resources and to generate a touchstone or guiding image to further support you.

    This is an intentional gathering or workshop, rather than specifically supervision, training or psychotherapy. The aim is to offer space and respite in order to strengthen and replenish your creative professional health, wellbeing and resilience.

    Group numbers limited to maximise safety and connection.

    PRACTICAL DETAILS:

    The gathering is to be offered online via Zoom.

    It is open to ANZACATA Practising Members and Student members.

    The event is FREE to book into either session:

    • Monday 9th December 3pm to 5pm AEDT (SOLD OUT)
    • Saturday 14th December 10.30am to 12.30pm AEDT (SOLD OUT)
    • Friday 20th December 10.30am to 12.30pm AEDT

    Maximum of 11 participants in each gathering.

    Each participant eligible to book into one gathering only.

    ANZACATA endorses 2hrs CPD points for full participation in each gathering
