Press Release: SPARK & HEAL Art Therapy BootCamp for Children
The Cope and Live Mental Health Awareness Foundation, through her school - Coli Mental Health Academy, is pleased to announce the SPARK & HEAL Art Therapy BootCamp for Kids and Children. This transformative event, designed for about 30 children (male and female) aged 6–12, will take place from April 24 to April 26, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM daily at the Conference Room of the Cope and Live Mental Health Awareness Foundation Resource Centre.
The SPARK & HEAL Art Therapy BootCamp aims to foster innovation, emotional resilience, and self-reliance among participants. According to Reverend Chukwudiebube Nwachukwu, Executive Director of the Foundation, the program is carefully structured to enhance children’s emotional regulation, problem-solving abilities, and creative thinking while boosting their confidence and self-esteem. “This initiative will equip children with essential skills such as teamwork, strategic thinking, and decision-making, which are critical for their cognitive, affective, and psychomotor development,” Reverend Nwachukwu noted. “By addressing stress and anxiety, the program also seeks to mitigate negative peer influences and promote a spirit of independence.”
The three-day BootCamp is organized with our partners - Rangers International Football Club Foundation, Campus Technology Life Initiative (CTLI), and CAPIONG, within a time-efficient framework to maximize impact:
Day 1: Explore and Express – Introduction to art therapy and painting emotions, helping children identify, understand, and manage various emotions.
Day 2: Create and Connect – Group projects, storytelling, and artistic expression to foster collaboration and communication.
Day 3: Reflect and Celebrate – Creation of personal masterpieces and a mini art show for parents to showcase the children’s achievements.
Reverend Nwachukwu emphasized that the program, expertly designed by the Coli Mental Health Academy team, is tailored to promote child mental health, brain health, and emotional well-being for optimal performance. All preparations are in place to ensure a seamless and impactful experience for participants.
