  • Play-Based Healing and Development
    methodology: healing_through_play
    By using child-led play as a core methodology, the organization promotes healing, restores autonomy and community, and supports emotional well-being, because play is understood to be both a natural mode of learning and a diagnostic window into children's psychological and physical health.
