Current Projects
Art Therapy in Clinical Settings
Terminally ill children deserve the same quality of life as healthy children. The time that these children have left to enjoy is precious and, when possible, should not be confined to an Intensive Care Unit.
Critically ill children and their families desperately need Mental health support. As of September 2020, we're helping to provide art therapy at one of Russia’s largest children’s hospices - The Lighthouse Children’s Hospice in Moscow.
Arts For Children with Special Education Needs and Disabilities
Music has many benefits for children with special education needs. Interaction with music is proven to improve memory, focus, coordination, communication and self-expression.
Children and young people with special education needs may feel isolated, experience communication problems or suffer from low mental wellbeing.
Arts for Social Inclusion
Since 2019, we’ve supported the ‘I am an Artist, This is How I See The World’ is an inclusive summer art competition organised by a Moscow non-for-profit, Koleso Obzora.
In Russia, 80,000 children with living parents grow up in state institutions such as orphanages and rehabilitation centres. Here and Now provide all-round support to orphaned, fostered or adopted children and their adoptive families.
Professional Development for Creative Therapists
The continued development of art therapy practices is essential for providing the most beneficial service to those who need it.
