Four Family for Every Child member organisations share their experiences and perspectives on supporting the mental health of vulnerable children, building on discussions from their last event:

  • Caryn Onions - The Mulberry Bush (UK) - shares how staff at their therapeutic school and children's home are trained to help children understand their feelings as the bedrock for good mental health.
  • Stella Duque - Taller de Vida (Colombia) - explains how art therapy and creative, participatory experiences can support good mental health.
