Art and Social Connection Group
Does your child enjoy arts and crafts?
Our Arts and Social Connect Group is a welcoming space where children can connect with others, express themselves creatively, and build important social and emotional skills, whilst making arts and crafts.
A creative group for children to build friendships, and emotional skills through art and play!
What is our art social connection group?
Art social connection group is a play-based therapy designed for a small group of children. Arts and crafts are used to facilitate the group therapy, allowing for children to naturally learn and grow in a safe creative environment. Through this approach, children develop crucial communication skills, learn diverse ways to interact with others, and enhance their problem-solving abilities.
Art social connection group offers a structured component, which includes group collaboration, following instructions, turn-taking and creativity. The group also offers a non-directive free art/play component which allows for individuality, creativity, social communication and relaxation.
How does art social connection group support children?
- Provides opportunities for social communication, allowing children to connect with others while engaging in creative activities. The group creates a safe and supportive space for expression, where children are encouraged to share ideas, thoughts, and emotions through art.
- Supports and celebrates individuality and creativity, helping to build self-esteem. By valuing individual differences and encouraging creative freedom, children are supported to develop confidence and a positive sense of self.
- Develop important social skills, including pro-social behaviours, turn-taking, give-and-take communication, self-awareness and awareness of others.
- Provide opportunities for leadership, compromising, and building and maintaining relationships.
We focus on social connection, self-esteem, emotional expression, emotional regulation, and mindfulness. These are meaningful and impactful areas of focus, which children are supported to apply to their everyday lives.
