ACADEMY OF CARE

The Academy of Care evolved from the  Program of Care (PoC), which began in 2022. Following World Mental Health Day, the Academy of Care is introduced as a capacity-building initiative designed to train individuals to facilitate mental health and psychosocial support programs. Through creative and dynamic teaching methods, the program aims to address mental health challenges, with a focus on trauma cases, over the next two years.  

Participants are trained through a blended, modular program that emphasizes non-traditional approaches in art, music, and dramatherapy. This program integrates psychiatric and psychological techniques with new therapeutic approaches, combining clinical practice with creative therapies. 

Cohort 4

The Academy of Care (AoC) in Yangon offers a comprehensive two-month on-site program designed to train participants in facilitating creative therapies, with a strong focus on trauma management through a certificate-based curriculum. Participants gain practical expertise in art, music, and drama therapies, equipping them to initiate community projects supported by seed funding and mentorship. Led by international and local experts, AoC aims to enhance cultural infrastructure and drive societal change by promoting empathy and addressing mental health challenges.
