Live sessions

During each day of the event from 19 – 23 April 2021, we will be hosting a live Q&A session where you will have the opportunity to ask questions to a panel of arts therapists to discuss their work and the advantages of using arts therapies.

From Monday to Thursday the content will be dedicated to a specific arts therapy (please see an itinerary below). On the Friday, we will have a panel of therapists covering all arts therapies for a general discussion on the blended use of therapies and how arts therapies can support the mental health workforce.
