Our Art-Therapy Mental Healthcare Support program, employed art therapy techniques to help participants, mainly from Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan, and Pakistan, manage anxiety and depression, fostering emotional resilience and overall well-being. Focusing on refugees and asylum seekers who faced unique challenges and traumas, the program empowered these individuals to express themselves creatively, allowing them to process their experiences and emotions effectively. Aligned with the YTT Learning Approach, the program utilised evidence based practices and adapted the interventions to meet the specific needs of each participant. This holistic approach, also promoted a greater sense of community and connection amongst the participants.
