The Importance of Supporting Mental Health in Children's Care: Arts-Based Approaches

Family for Every Child

Why is it so important to consider mental health and emotional well-being in child care and child protection? How can we address mental health needs in a non-clinical environment? What are some of the tried and tested approaches to supporting the mental health of vulnerable children?

Join Family for Every Child for the final webinar in their series on mental health.  

This webinar will focus on the use of creative therapies in supporting the mental health of vulnerable children and youth. Two Family for Every Child members and an external guest speaker will share their experiences and perspectives on the following themes:

  • Rita Paniker - Butterflies (India)
    Working Together: Social Casework a Therapeutic Approach
  • Rosemary Afedzie - Challenging Heights (Ghana)
    Art, forgiveness and cognitive behaviour interventions 
  • Dr Sohini Chakraborty - Kolkata Sanved (India)

Dance movement therapy for healing and well being

After the speaker's presentations, we will invite you to share your own experiences and practices. This will be followed by a Q&A on the use of arts-based approaches in therapy.

This event will take place in English with Spanish interpretation available.
