At Arts Therapies for Children, we are helping 204 children from 35 primary schools across the community. Our waiting list for therapeutic support is growing; we have almost 150 vulnerable children waiting for our help to address a range of issues: grief & loss, trauma, sexual abuse, anxiety, & poor self-esteem.
We are struggling to meet demand. Together with your help, we aim to safeguard the services we already deliver & to reduce our waiting list so that every child who needs therapy can access it without delay.
This Chanukah, please give the transformative gift of vital arts & play therapy that would otherwise be out of reach for many of our most vulnerable children, & their families.
Your donation will directly help lessen the wait times & provide our community’s children with the emotional & creative tools, as well as hope, needed to heal, express themselves & thrive. Donate today to help us create safer, healthier, brighter & more hopeful futures for our children.
