Therapeutic Arts provision
Bespoke workshops & one-to-one sessions.
We design and deliver therapeutic arts programmes for groups of all ages, and one to one sessions for children and young people in Jersey.
Group Programmes
For adults and children
Working solely in partnership with Jersey charities and schools, Kairos Arts run bespoke therapeutic arts programmes for groups of adults and children who are facing life’s challenges.
Offering a safe, supportive environment, dedicated to their journey towards healing and personal empowerment, a programme offers one workshop a week, which lasts 2-3 hours, for a six-week period.
Each programme is facilitated by a minimum of two Kairos Arts Practitioners.
We have a great team of experienced practitioners, and we ensure that each of our workshops are bespoke and person centered. Drawing inspiration from Carl Roger’s person-centered approach, our sessions are uniquely designed for the group and individuals attending, to facilitate their therapeutic creative journey.
Each workshop is fully evaluated to ensure that the highest professional standards are adhered to.
Programmes run at no cost to charities.
