Help Me Raise Money for ATFC!
I joined the committee of Art Therapies for Children because I’ve always believed in the transformative power of art. Growing up in a family deeply involved in the art world, I’ve seen how creativity can open minds, foster connection, and offer solace in difficult times. Combined with my love for children, this cause felt like a natural fit. I’m proud to support a charity that gives young people the tools to express themselves, process their experiences, and build resilience through the therapeutic use of art.
ATFC provides therapy—art, play, and EMDR—to some of the most vulnerable children, aged 5–11, directly within 35 primary schools. These children are facing incredibly tough challenges: bereavement, loss, illness, neglect, special needs, abuse, and more.
Waitlists for mental health services can stretch for years—even in urgent cases. ATFC not only steps in to fill that gap but offers consistent, personalized care to the child, their family, and their school.
As a committee member for ATFC, I’m committed to doing my part to help provide these children with the support and resources they deserve.
