Digital art therapy for youth with developing or existing mental health conditions

Digital art therapy for youth with developing or existing mental health conditions

Considering the large numbers of stress and anxiety reports during the corona virus pandemic, people admitted that their mental health was negatively impacted. Adding to this, the limited access to services due to quarantine and unprecedented change of routine led some individuals with feelings of loneliness, depression, harmful alcohol and drug use, and self-harm or suicidal behaviour; symptoms which are expected to rise if we do not take action. ARTY aims to help youth workers, psychologists, social workers and practitioners extend their competencies in using digital art therapy. In order to equip those professionals, partners of the project will develop a guide and a capacity building program on how to implement art therapy sessions for youth with psychological disorders online, along with an awareness Raising Toolkit for CSOs on the impact of COVID-19 to youth with developing or existing mental health conditions.
