June | Child Healthy Growth Care Month
%20(10-d2be575.jpg/:/rs=w:1209,h:605,cg:true,m/cr=w:1209,h:605)
I. Background
June is a month for children.
The International Arts Education & Therapy Development Academic (IAETDAA) has designated June as "Child Healthy Growth Care Month" as part of its annual action plan.
Children's mental health is not merely the absence of psychological problems—it means children can freely perceive, express, regulate emotions, and develop security and autonomy in relationships.
However, many children face challenges such as emotional suppression, unspoken trauma, social anxiety, or developmental differences. Their immature language abilities often prevent them from clearly expressing their distress.
Artistic healing—including painting, music, dance, drama, sandplay, and other non-verbal therapeutic methods—provides children with a natural outlet for expression. Without relying heavily on language, it helps children integrate inner experiences, relieve stress, and rebuild connections through creativity and sensory awareness.
II. Our Call to Action
We invite all who care about children's mental health to join us in the following actions:
For Parents and Families
· Set aside a fixed, "no-goal" art time each week (doodling, clay, body movement, etc.).
· Focus on the emotional flow during the process, not on judging the artwork.
· Use art as a bridge for communication, replacing interrogation and lecturing.
For Educators and Therapists
· Intentionally incorporate structured artistic healing activities into classrooms or counseling sessions.
· Learn basic methods of child artistic healing assessment and guidance; avoid reducing art activities to mere skill training.
· Document and share practice cases to enrich local experience.
For the Public and Institutions
· Support the creation of child-friendly artistic healing spaces or activities in communities, libraries, hospitals, etc.
· Fund relevant research, training, and public services, especially for children in difficult circumstances.
· Spread accurate understanding of artistic healing, avoiding mystification or superficial entertainment.
III. Call for Experts and Content
To enrich the professional resources for June Child Care Month, the Academy invites experts, practitioners, and members in psychology, art therapy, artistic healing, child development, special education, and related fields, both domestically and internationally, to submit content aligned with the following themes:
Submission Themes
· Public courses, lectures, or workshop designs on artistic healing for children's emotional regulation, trauma intervention, and social skills enhancement

V. Conclusion
Children's mental health should not wait until serious problems emerge.
Artistic healing offers a preventive, developmental, and low-resistance form of support.
This June, let's start with a brush, a piece of paper, and a non-judgmental gaze—
Use artistic healing to safeguard the inner space where children are meant to grow freely.
May | Family Therapy Month
The Invisible Scars of the Lineage – Intergenerational Trauma and the Symbolic Repair of Art Therapy
📖 Introduction: Some Wounds Run Through the Bloodline
We often think that trauma belongs to personal experience.
But some pain does not originate from our own stories. It comes from much earlier times—from tears a grandmother never shed, from secrets buried under family silence, from the unspoken sacrifices and endurance passed down through generations.
These invisible scars are not on the skin. But they run through the bloodline.
They shape how we love, how we anger, how we fall silent. They influence our identity, our relationships, and our ability to find peace with ourselves.
Family therapy is precisely about seeing these invisible things—and finding a path toward repair.
🎯 About the May Theme
This May, the International Art Education and Therapy Development Academic Association (IAETDAA) focuses on "Family Therapy" , exploring emotional transmission within family systems, intergenerational trauma, and the healing potential of art therapy.
We invite you to a special public welfare sharing session led by Dr. Nesrine Helali Asses—Founder of Artdonnance® Art Prescription, Medical Doctor, and Art Therapist. Through a real clinical case, she will present how art therapy can become a pathway for healing family wounds.
👤 Facilitator
Dr. Nesrine Helali Asses
Medical Doctor (General Medicine)
Founder of Artdonnance®
President of the Artdonnance® Professional Committee, International Arts Education and Therapy Development Academic Association (IAETDAA)
Dr. Nesrine Helali Asses began her career in clinical medicine. Through years of practice, she came to deeply understand that much suffering cannot be expressed through words — and that art can offer a pathway for transforming such silent pain.
This insight led her to found Artdonnance® : an integrative therapeutic approach that bridges medical rigor, artistic sensitivity, and human depth.
She firmly believes: “When words fail, art begins to speak.” This conviction runs through her clinical work, teaching, and academic research.
This public welfare workshop will be guided live remotely by Dr. Nesrine Helali Asses.
