We are so excited to be running The Wellbeing Studio this term.
The Wellbeing Studio is a weekly creative wellbeing group inspired by the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Designed for young people anveld young adults, the group combines evidence-based psychology with creative expression to help participants create connect and learn ways to live well.
The Wellbeing Studio explores:
-Understanding your values and living in line with them
-Developing skills to understand, process and manage emotions
-Understanding identity and what it means to you
-Looking forward to the future and the path you want to travel.
Rather than focusing on creating the “perfect” artwork, each session uses art as a way to explore important psychological concepts in a hands-on, engaging and meaningful way. Through guided creative activities, participants learn how to better understand themselves, manage difficult emotions, cope with life’s challenges and take steps towards the life they want to live.
Across the term, we’ll explore topics such as values, mindfulness, self-compassion, acceptance, psychological flexibility and committed action. These are all core components of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, an approach widely used by psychologists and mental health professionals to improve emotional wellbeing, resilience and overall mental health.
No artistic experience is needed—just a willingness to be curious and give it a go. The focus is on self-discovery, connection and personal growth in a supportive, welcoming environment.
Whether you’re looking to build confidence, reduce stress and anxiety, develop healthy coping strategies or simply connect with others through creativity, The Wellbeing Studio offers a unique opportunity to invest in your wellbeing while learning practical skills and ways of thinking, that you can carry into everyday life.
If you’re looking for a creative therapy group in Shepparton or the Goulburn Valley, or you’re interested in learning more about Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, we’d love to welcome you to The Wellbeing Studio this term.
