A powerful trend is emerging in mental health care: arts-based creative approaches are becoming central to how mental health support is being offered. At the heart of this shift are community-led organisations — weaving music, dance, theatre, visual arts, journaling, photography and more into their mental health care models. Hear directly from the innovative organisations driving this change! Join us for Dance battles to doodles: Discovering the therapeutic power of the arts Voices from community-led orgs — a webinar featuring five inspiring organisations from Jordan, Palestine, Zimbabwe, Mexico, and Myanmar. They’ll share their work and reflect on how the arts are reshaping mental health care in their communities. This conversation will spotlight how the arts offer new languages of self-expression, help communities manage mental health in safe, culturally rooted ways, and open doors to long-term self-care practices. And what new futures become possible when the arts shape care? Speakers will include: Rana Rizkallah, Executive Director, Turath for Social Development Togara Mupeiwa Project Lead, INTSHA Trust Nelly César Marin Co-founder & Director, Pandeo Elias Deis Executive Director, Holy Land Trust Phyo Su Moe Founder, Inclusion Journey
