group work

Group activities can make ideal settings for providing therapeutic programs with benefits gained through participation, sharing new skills and peer support. 
 
Drawing on  over twenty years experience coordinating special interest groups, designing and facilitating group activities and community programs I deliver evidence based programs. The programs are person-centred to meet the needs of  the participants and are suitable for youth, adult or seniors groups.

If you or your organisation are considering a group program please contact me via email: sandybuchanan@optusnet.com.au so we can arrange to discuss you needs further.
Group programs include:
  • crafts and textiles
  • diversional therapies
  • ​​drama/performance
  • dress for success
  • eyes hear - ears see
  • felting
  • laughter therapy
  • make-up application
  • masks
  • movement
  • music/sound
  • Narrative activities
  • play
  • pet therapy
  • reminiscing and engagement
