Arts-Based Compassion Skills Training (ABCST): Channelling Compassion Focused Therapy Through Visual Arts for Australia’s Indigenous Peoples
Overview
This paper describes a pilot study evaluating Arts-Based Compassion Skills Training (ABCST), an adaptation of Compassion Focused Therapy for Indigenous Australians using visual arts. The resource details the development of this approach following initial challenges with conventional CFT groups and outlines the structure of a six-session group facilitated by psychologists and artists. It reports qualitative findings from ten participants, including clients and health professionals, regarding outcomes such as enhanced self-compassion and strengthened relationships.
