About CATs in conversation: Creative Arts Therapists are invited to gather at  venues through out Brisbane and the surrounding areas to catch up, share experiences have discussions, support, mentor and engage in creative inquiry.

BrizCATs 2016

 BrizCATs in 2016

Happy New Year. Are you ready for a year of creativity and vitality?
BrizCATs is entering into the year with a whole lot of curiousity about what BrizCATs can do to support you in your work as a Creative Arts: to continue to learn and grow, to advocate and promote our profession, to foster practices of wellbeing and sustainability. 
What can BrizCATs help you with in your work ? Do you need to network, or need a mentor or fellow companion, do you need a play mate, do you need to reflect with someone who understands your work and your values? Or something else????




BrizCATs offers spaces for collaborative professional reflection and support through open dialogue and sharing. This voluntary network allows us to share ideas and resources, to make connections, and have lively multimodal dialogues that assist us to spread our creative and healing wings amongst our Brisbane and wider communities.
