Background
The city of Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand, population 360 000, and its surrounding province were devastated by four large and multiple smaller earthquakes beginning in September 2010.
The goals of the mission were:
- To involve carers in a process of co-creating arts therapy-based tools for self-care and relaxation and thereby enable them to rediscover their strengths and resiliencies; and
- To explore simple ways in which these creative processes may be used within the carers organisations and with their client groups.
