Caring for the Mental Health Carer: Creative Writing | Hillarys

Caring for the Mental Health Carer is a therapeutic group program designed for adult Mental Health Carers aged 18+.

Caring for the Mental Health Carer: Creative Writing – Adult Workshop

Join us in a welcoming, peer-based and non-judgemental environment for a workshop that blends gentle body techniques with creative expression.

Part One – Nervous System Support
Begin with a series of calming practices designed to ease body and mind:

• Gentle movements
• Techniques to let go of looping thoughts and worries
• Support in regaining clarity and freedom of thought

Part Two – Creative Writing with Music & Nature Sounds
Shift into artistic expression through guided creative writing in a relaxing space with soothing music and nature sounds. You’ll:

• Explore your inner world through sensory writing (using sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell)
• Choose from suggested prompts or write freely
• Discover there are no right or wrong answers—just curiosity and exploration
