Dr. Jane Goodall passed away at 91, leaving behind a legacy of humility, courage, and compassion. Known for her groundbreaking research with chimpanzees, she also carried with her a small stuffed monkey named Mr. H — a gift from a blind magician, symbolising hope and resilience. To me, Mr. H reminds us that even the smallest objects can hold deep meaning. May her gentle spirit guide us to notice, care, and create ripples of change in our own quiet ways.

Art therapy is more than crafts — it is a clinically grounded mental health profession. We study psychology, human development, and psychotherapy to hold safe, transformative spaces where art becomes a bridge to healing. Research shows it reduces depression and anxiety, improves coping, and supports quality of life. Fellow art therapists — when was the last time you made art to explore your own inner world?
