Stronger Family Through Art Therapy: a Mixed Methods Programme Evaluation Study

The current research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of the Strong Family Through Art Therapy (SFAT) programme, which was developed to improve the parent-child relationship in vulnerable families. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the programme effective in enhancing quality of life and family resilience among parents? 2. Is the programme effective in enhancing quality of life among children? 3. Is the programme feasible and acceptable for large scale implementation in Singapore? Researchers will compare participants before and after they take the programme and compare participants who take the programme with participants with participants who have not yet taken the programme to see if the programme is effective in benefiting participants. Researchers will also invite participants to discuss together and interview art therapists to see if the programme is feasible and acceptable. Participants will 1. Take the 10-week SFAT programme 2.
