Christopher Burke and Lulu Falbe-Hansen, now qualified Art Therapists, revisit a piece of work that they completed as trainees on placement in a Forensic Mental Health Setting. They will present how they established a recovery-model focussed 12 week art psychotherapy group, explore key aspects of the group and present the journeys and art images of three participants. They will evaluate the impact of the group on the participants, the ward and themselves and conclude that there is value in offering short-term art psychotherapy groups within this setting and beyond.

Part of the Belong London project was a Restorative Justice Service. The aim of this was to bring offenders and their victims together, if victims wished and offenders were willing, for dialogue that might lead to understanding and possibly to reparation, if feasible. Restorative processes bring those harmed by crime or conflict, and those responsible for the harm, into communication, enabling everyone affected by a particular incident to play a part in repairing the harm and finding a positive way forward (Restorative Justice Council,
UK). This presentation will describe the training course and the issues arising in the context of this work in prison.
has worked in art therapy with offenders, women’s groups, community groups, and most recently in the
Inner City Mental Health Team in Bristol, UK, where she developed work on anger issues, and work with asylum seekers and refugees. She lectures on art therapy at several universities in the UK and Europe. She also works in restorative justice, mediation and conflict resolution, and has run workshops on art, conflict and anger in many countries. She has written/edited ten books, most recently Art Therapy and Anger (2008). In 2010 she was awarded her PhD by publications from Bristol
University, and in 2013 she was awarded an OBE for services to art therapy and mediation.

Lucy Gibson-Hill and Tony Gammidge will talk about their experiences of delivering art therapy at
YOI/HMP Isis, a newly established category C training prison for young male adults and the issues they faced both from the institution and the charity that had employed them. They will explore how well the men engaged in the groups and the 1:1 sessions despite (or because of) the challenges Lucy and Tony faced.
This was a pilot project delivered to gang members with a conviction of violence through a three prong project (restorative justice, art therapy and mentoring). Art therapy was mostly unknown to the charity and the prison at the time and this reflects in the outcomes of the project.
