The Birmingham Centre for Arts Therapies (BCAT) is a registered charity which was set up in 1993 to provide an accessible arts therapies, and more recently an arts in health service throughout the Midlands. We assist children and adults who are experiencing mental health, physical, behavioural or emotional issues with arts therapies, and we also work closely with our community partners across Birmingham to support the health and wellbeing of citizens using art, dance, drama, music and play.
BCAT are passionate about people and how arts therapies can be applied to aid mental health and physical issues, and how communities can also benefit therapeutically from arts in health intervention.
Being a pioneer and leader in establishing arts therapies as an alternative and complimentary intervention has been a goal for our charity for the past 25 years. We put people and communities in front of profit and are able to offer a number of subsidised services thanks to our generous funders and available grants.
We are a unique service that is one of a kind throughout the whole of the United Kingdom.
BCAT are champions of the arts therapy sector and work with a wide selection of qualified and verified psychotherapists throughout Birmingham and the wider area
