A new programme is offering art therapy for children in Jewish schools.

“For a child whose life is being torn apart,” says art therapist Tim Anders, “a picture can provide more information than words alone.” 

A children’s art therapist for many years at Chai Cancer Care, he has just launched a charity to bring his programme into schools. It was first piloted it at Sinai Primary in Kenton and now ten Jewish primary schools have signed up to the scheme.
