We are a social enterprise that provides trauma-informed art therapy services for children, youths and adults from different cultural backgrounds with emotional or psychological difficulties to identify and resolve their core conflicts.

We also provide customised workshops and talks for the community, schools, social service and corporate organisations. From art experiential workshops, individual art therapy to group therapy sessions, our programmes combine art therapy, social emotional learning and fun to facilitate growth, change and healing.

The essence of our work lies in the belief that every person has the inherent capacity to heal and transform.

NATIONAL HERITAGE BOARD ART PROGRAMME BRINGS BACK KAMPUNG MEMORIES FOR SENIORS

The news was first published on The Straits Times, Lianhe Zaobao, 8world and Capital 95.8fm

One of the participants shared her thoughts in mandarin on the art therapy activity: "Doing this handicraft reminds me of our childhood. When we were in kampong, there were very few lights, so when we made this lantern, we would think of the paper lantern we took when we were young and it would burn. It was more fun before."
