Mental Health Matters through Restorative Art (MHM) aims to enhance the skills, knowledge, and experience of mental health professionals using art and restorative justice values. Restorative justice can have an empowering effect on the recipients of mental health services. However, the benefits deriving from the combination of therapeutic art and restorative justice are still not translated into educational materials, leaving unaware many adult learners and professionals of the field.
MHM aims to respond to this by bringing together a cross-sector, strategic partnership to support innovation in the adult education field by creating, piloting, and disseminating educational material and tools tailored to the needs and realities of mental health professionals, restorative justice practitioners and artists in the participating countries and across Europe.
The project started in November 2019 and will be completed in October 2021; it is implemented with the support of the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
