For Children’s Week, our North Adelaide foyer turned into a colourful pop-up art space; for children of all ages to drop in, get creative, and explore new ways to express themselves.

For many children, especially those who find words hard, art can become their voice. It helps them:

🟡 Share big feelings and ideas
🟡 Build confidence and identity
🟡 Regulate emotions through sensory play
🟡 Connect with others in a fun, relaxed way

Children’s Week reminds us that every child deserves to feel seen and heard.

We loved welcoming so many young artists into our space and watching their creativity come alive. As we continue to grow our NDIS and therapeutic group programs, expressive art will always be at the heart of what we do to support children’s wellbeing and development.

Stay tuned for more creative opportunities coming soon!

🌿 AkindaCo is now welcoming Expressions of Interest for our Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) service.

At AkindaCo, our PBS framework is strengths-based and co-designed, recognising each person’s capacity for growth, self-determination, and connection.

We look beyond behaviours to understand the whole person, how they communicate their needs and desires through words, actions, and relationships, and how their environment can better support this. Our goal is to uphold freedom, dignity, autonomy, and meaning as central outcomes of support.

By taking this broader, systemic view, we design strategies that build lasting skills, strengthen relationships, and improve quality of life — creating meaningful change that endures.

📍 Services available across Adelaide and Elizabeth
🧩 Delivered by experienced, trauma-informed practitioners

If you or someone you support would like to be part of this, please complete our short Expression of Interest form:

Our new Adult Art Therapy Group has started; and it’s been such a beautiful, reflective space already. In our last session, we explored watercolour washes to represent emotion, then layered mindful mandalas over the top.

It was amazing to see how colour, movement, and stillness came together to tell personal stories without relying on words.

If you’ve been curious about art therapy and want a creative, supportive space for we’re taking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for the next group intake.
