About Creative Expression Centre for Arts Therapy (CECAT)
Welcome to the Creative Expression Centre for Arts Therapy (CECAT) located in Mount Claremont, Australia. CECAT is a unique establishment that focuses on providing health and therapeutic services through the use of creative arts.
At CECAT, we believe in the power of creative expression as a means of therapy. Our experienced arts therapists utilize various creative modalities to help individuals explore and express their unconscious thoughts and emotions. Through this process, we aim to improve self-understanding and increase resilience in our consumers.
Located on the Graylands Hospital Campus, CECAT is a state-wide arts therapy community public mental health service. Our dedicated staff works with individuals both individually and in groups, using a range of creative mediums such as visual arts, music, creative writing, sand play, and clay therapy. These therapeutic interventions are designed to assist in the recovery of adults with a primary diagnosis of mental illness.
Our group therapy program is a key component of our services, providing a safe and supportive environment for exploration and self-expression through creativity. These sessions stimulate imagination, playfulness, and insight, helping individuals gain self-knowledge and acceptance of their unique identities. The process of creating is emphasized over the final outcome or artwork produced.
CECAT also holds regular exhibitions and encourages social inclusion through community-based projects and live performances. However, the psychotherapeutic creative work undertaken by our consumers is not generally exhibited or seen publicly.
To access our services, we accept referrals from psychiatrists and mental health professionals for consumers under the care of both public and private health services. Case management, care coordination, and consent from the consumer are necessary for referral. Referrals from other sources will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Please note that all referrals are screened to ensure eligibility and suitability for arts therapy. As a community service, we do not have emergency backup or immediate medical support, so some referrals may not be suitable. In such cases, alternative services will be recommended.
If you would like to contact us, please feel free to reach out to us at (08) 6159 6907 or via email at ceu@health.wa.gov.au. Our office hours are from 08:30 to 16:30, Monday to Friday. You can find us at CECAT, Graylands Campus, J Block, Brockway Road, Mount Claremont WA 6010. For postal inquiries, please use the address CECAT, Private bag 1, Post Office Claremont WA 6910.
CECAT is proudly brought to you by the Department of Health, Western Australia. We look forward to assisting you on your journey towards self-discovery and emotional resilience through the power of creative expression.
