Description
About the Practice
When ADHD, care history or trauma makes one-to-one talking feel impossible, art can help a young person show what is happening inside. Muawé Healing Arts Manchester gives Manchester families a creative therapy route for children and young people who cannot always explain distress through words alone. The work is therapy, not an art class, music lesson or drama club: the creative medium is used to support emotional expression, regulation and repair.
