The RJ4All International Institute is pleased to offer this CPD certified e-course, which aims to train artists and professionals working in the artistic and cultural sectors on how to use the transformative power of restorative justice art in the lives of people with mental health issues.
Through this training programme, participants will discover how art can be used as a healing tool not only to relieve people facing mental illness, but also to promote their social restoration and improve their self-representation. Participants will find out that their art can have a meaningful social impact in supporting people with mental health conditions to regain their “voice”, while opening up new possible professional avenues
This interactive e-course can be paused as many times as you need, and completed in your own time. It takes approximately 6 non-stop hours to fully complete all modules and take the CPD test. Additional reading material and videos are also provided for optional further learning and research. The course convener is Prof. Theo Gavrielides.
