Today's episode is really special. It's a conversation that will undoubtedly change your perspective on what it means to be creative. I'm joined by Caitlin Marshall and Lizzie Rose, the founders of MakeShift, an award-winning agency that provides trauma-informed creativity and mental health programs for communities, workplaces and groups throughout Australia.
In this episode, we talk about:
The difference between art therapy and creative first aid
How Caitlin and Lizzie came to the work they do at MakeShift
What systems and structures hinder good mental health, and so much more!
Since 2013, makeShit have worked with thousands of people, including first responders; communities affected by bushfires and floods; corporate clients such as Atlassian, Canva, AMP Capital and organisations including Sydney Opera House, Support Act, Creative Australia and more.
Caitlin is a qualified social worker and trainer in vicarious trauma management and gender-based violence, who has had one foot in the creative arts since adolescence. Lizzie is a community development practitioner, sustainability educator and qualified yoga teacher.
