Bringing Restorative Justice and Art into Mental Health Settings

This e-book brings together the work of six organisations working on the Mental Health Matters project, coordinated by the Restorative Justice for All International Institute.

The project aimed to challenge current practices in mental health settings by bringing together restorative justice with art. The two concepts can help rebalance power amongst patients and providers while providing healing and therapeutic results. MHMaims to create the first methodological approach for bringing together the practices of restorative justice and art while creating innovative tools and training material for key stakeholders such as artist, mental health professionals and restorative justice practitioners. This ebook presents the first findings of the project.
