Application process

1. Fill in application forms

• Fill in an expression of interest (PDF 46KB) saying why you would like to attend. We need your contact details, your case manager or doctor's full name and you need to sign the form.
• Ask your case manager or doctor to complete the case manager referral form (PDF 80KB)
• Post, fax or drop in the forms to us at Reflections Art Studio – please contact us if you have any queries

2. Assessment interview

After we receive your referral and talk to your case manager or doctor, we will ask you to come in for a meeting with an art therapist. We will discuss your referral with you and get to know a bit more about you so that we can assess your suitability for this service and how it might benefit you.

3. Acceptance interview

If we decide that this service is right for you and if we can accommodate you, we will ask you to come in for an acceptance interview. The art therapist will ask you about your personal health goals and what you would like to do at the studio, help you choose your timetable.

Attendance needs are worked out on an individual basis. Some people will need to come to the studio more often than others and some will need to keep coming for a longer time than others. We reserve the right to review your attendance and make decisions as to how often and for how long you can attend.

4. Attendance reviews

Every three months an art therapist will meet with you to ask for your feedback about the studio, and to talk about your art practice and your goals. Your next term program will also be chosen at this time.

Confidentiality

While we are a community based arts studio with a relaxed atmosphere, Reflections Art Studio is a mental health service. We will respect confidentiality about your referral information, identity and attendance at all times.
