We are inviting those who have experienced dramatherapy (or art or music therapy) to send in a voice note telling us about your experience, as part of our NHSE Commission to raise awareness of drama, art and music therapies and support more people in future.
As part of our current NHSE commission with BADth, the British Association for Music Therapy (BAMT) and the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT), we are producing a series of short films to help promote art, music and dramatherapy.
So many service users got in touch to join our focus groups, we were sorry not to involve more of you. This is why we have this opportunity! We want to hear directly from service users of Art, Drama, and Music Therapy and to include a range of service user voices in our films. After all, your experiences are what really matters and will help explain how our professions can benefit people like you. We want more people to understand what Art, Drama, and Music Therapy is, and this is why we want your help!
So, what are we asking for?
We are asking you to send a 'voice note' via Whatsapp, it should be no longer than 1-3 minutes long.
You'll first need to complete a short consent form, and at the end you'll be given the Project Office contact number to send your voice recording to.
Visit the commission webpage to find out more and get involved: https://baat.org/get-involved/
DEADLINE: October16th to receive voice notes/recordings
(We also welcome voice notes from parents or partners of those who have undergone Art, Drama, or Music Therapy, who may otherwise be unable to explain their own experience. We welcome your insight to help best describe the impact the therapies have had on those most close to you.)
