Arts for Recovery Resilience Teamwork and Skills (ARRTS)

The Arts for Recovery, Resilience, Teamwork and Skills (ARRTS) program is a biannual, month-long arts practice residency program targeted at current and recent ADF and first responder personnel. Run in partnership with the Department of Defence, it allows participants the opportunity to build an active arts practice in creative writing, visual arts or music as a key strategy in assisting their recovery from service-related trauma. It provides mentoring staff with the opportunity to research and develop best practice approaches, strategies and curricula in the space of Arts/Health and Arts led recovery.
