ARTIVATE
Art Therapy Based Psychoeducation to overcome the mental health problems of adults with learning disabilities and support their participation in Adult Education
About
Adults with learning disabilities (LD) may comprise as many as 80% of the participants in adult basic education programmes. Practitioners recognise the need to widen understanding of emotional and psychological matters in persons with LD, as well as to explore innovative approaches – such as art therapy – to address them and to foster their participation in adult education.
ARTIVATE project aims to foster the implementation of art therapy-based psychoeducation to support the participation of adults with learning disabilities in education, improving their skills and competences, and facilitating their social integration.
