    Psycho-education and psychotherapy services for underprivileged children with emotional problems or special educational needs

     

    The venture aims to provide at an affordable price psycho-education and psychotherapy services, such as experiential creative arts, music and play therapy, to underprivileged children with emotional problems or special educational needs. The services will be delivered by a team of internationally certified therapists.

    Apart from offering services in a playroom centre, the venture will refurbish a van to turn it into a mobile playroom to reach out to target children living in remote areas. Children with different needs will join the play therapy workshops in the mobile playroom to unleash their inner strengths and enhance their capabilities in coping with difficulties.

    Experiential workshops and talks for parents, caregivers and teachers will be conducted to enable them to better understand the difficulties the children face.
