Well-being Kit
Our Arts Therapy kit is suitable for health professionals, employees and people in caring roles, because you matter too.
At Papernook, we acknowledge just how important it is for people in client facing professions and voluntary caring capacities to set aside time to recalibrate, find balance and get support to gain clarity and perspective. Looking after others can be incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. It can also come at a cost to your own mental energy and wellness. As practitioners, we know about this all too well. Regular self-care and external support is imperative when caring for others to reduce the risks of compassion fatigue and burnout.
A unique inquiry tool with an Arts Therapy approach.
Take time out with Papernook's guided 'therapy in a box' featuring specially crafted prompts to explore curiously and creatively. This self-paced kit comes with instructions and materials so you can independently follow an Arts Therapy process for improving well-being, reflective skills and personal development. Get support from the comfort of your own space to work through a current problem or theme that arises. Well-being kits may even be used as part of reflective practice activities and supervision.
Each box contains:
- Welcome postcard - to help you get started.
- Guided instructions, with a process developed and simplified for you by an Arts Therapist.
- Unique array of craft materials, nature and stimulus, including image and word cards.
- Journal card to complete the kit and support your journey to new knowing.
PLUS, all inclusive as part of your purchase:
Connect with a fully qualified and registered Arts Therapist for a debrief and feedback at the end of your process (or during if you find yourself stuck). Opt to submit an image and/or brief written description for a personalised response OR book in for a 15 minute telehealth (phone or video) consultation. Your Arts Therapist will consider an aspect for further exploration or continued reflection and offer support to connect with additional services if needed.
*Postage and GST all-inclusive in price advertises.

Why your staff need a kit.
There's been some big changes to the way in which we work and engage in our professional lives over the last couple years. Many office-based employees continue to work from home a handful of days throughout the week. While some people enjoy the perks of this changed working style, it does bring with it a whole new set of challenges for the employee and employer.
We hear from those about missing the impromptu human connection or others running into issues by being at home more. Childminding and meeting deadlines is leading to increased stress and fatigue. Work-life balance and setting boundaries has never been more relevant. Like any adjustment, it takes time to find a good rhythm. Checking-in has to be whole lot more conscious than the occasional chat in the office hallway or lunch room.
Papernook's Arts Therapy kits are a great way for businesses to show employees they care and provide development opportunities. If your organisation already offers an EAP or wellness program, our kits may be the perfect fit as an added or alternative option for staff. Some people may not feel comfortable or ready to engage in talk therapy. However, they may benefit from a more creative and tactile solution to work through a current problem with guidance. Kits can be pre-purchased in bulk or posted direct to a employees homes when requested. They offer staff a gentle and guided Arts Therapy process to complete at their own pace and with privacy, followed by an opportunity to connect with a qualified Arts Therapist to debrief or share if they wish.

There is no right or wrong as you follow our guided process, and no expectation to achieve an aesthetic or 'artistic' outcome. In fact, it is more about the process and the doing. This kit creates a space that is just for you, to take time out and explore a current goal, challenge or situation using a supportive and guided creative therapeutic process.
