SandPlay Therapy: Now at Carers ACT.

SandPlay Therapy: Now at Carers ACT.

>From March 2014, Carers ACT is offering this wonderful expressive
therapy to their youngest through to their oldest Carers. From our
experience, working in a tactile way with sand, water and miniatures
leaves Carers feeling a sense of relief and unburdening, and is
particularly helpful for those who have difficulty expressing emotion,
or describing the challenges they face.

When introduced to SandPlay well, most clients enjoy the experience of
switching off their disturbing thoughts or difficult emotions, and
allowing their hands and creative imaginations to take over.

* Children and young people often find it easier to engage with
their SandPlay therapist when there is something in front of them to
talk about.
* Adult clients often become more relaxed as they are given an
activity which reminds them of a time when life was simpler, and many
troubling issues were resolved through play.

SandPlay Therapy is now operating out of Carers ACT's Woden Office and
if your organization provides case management for Carers who may benefit
from this approach, please encourage them to book by calling 1800 242
636 or for more information about this form of therapy see the following
