At Home with Satellite is a fun, creative program that offers connecting activities for children and young people aged 8-14 years old (approx.) who have a parent or carer that experiences mental health challenges.
Our 'At Home' program runs during the school holidays and provides a curated selection of activity-based self-care packs and online workshops. These fun activities are facilitated as a two-part workshop series. They have included:
- Music and Me workshops where participants use music as a familiar and fun medium to explore feelings and identity.
- 'Dreamboards' workshops where participants create a collection of images, words, and doodles for inspiration.
- Songwriting workshops where participants explore the songwriting process including writing lyrics and composition.
- Digital photography workshops include photography challenges and scavenger hunts and explore how photography can be a cool platform for expression and sharing stories.
- 'Creature Comforts' workshops where participants use the materials posted to them in a craft box to design and make wild creations!
- 'All Superheroes Wear Masks' workshops, where participants receive all the materials needed via post to bring their masked-adventures to life.
At Home with Satellite provides an opportunity for artistic expression, story-telling and peer connection within a facilitated group program.
