If you are interested in participating in future sessions please sign up for AHCF e-bulletin to receive notices about upcoming Artists’ Group Therapy/Support dates.

Space for this group is limited, and there is no wait list. Participants will be selected in the order they contact the clinic after they receive notification of upcoming dates through the AHCF e-bulletin. An intake interview will be required.

Find support in a therapeutic environment where you can discuss, explore, and learn to deal with some of the difficult challenges you are facing in your career and in your life.

By request this session of the ‘group’ will be extended to 24 weeks. This will ensure ample time to explore and experience a supportive interpersonal group dynamic. There will be time to interact with other artists around both common and individual situations in which you might feel stuck or off track.

Some frequently explored subjects have included:

• Creating and performing my art
• Fear, envy and competition
• Acceptance and rejection (self worth)
• Physical and emotional difficulties
• Interpersonal relationships
• Age, gender, orientation, diversity
• Living in the non-artist world

Who may attend? Professional Creative and Performing Artists and Students or Staff from post-secondary arts institutions.
