In today’s global climate, concern over the dangers posed to children and societies caused by man-made and natural calamities is widespread. The United Nations reports tens of millions of children exposed to conflicts and disasters each year, not including those affected by trauma from neglect, abuse and human trafficking. The impact of these adversities on children urgently calls for evidence and guidance on what promotes their recovery and healing, and what type of environments (resettlement areas, schools, homes) help to mitigate risk and offer them a sense of security. This article presents adaptations of expressive arts, play-based psychosocial support programmes implemented by two international non-profits. It details how classrooms can be transformative and offer a sense of permanence, constancy and wellness for children in crisis situations. It focuses on bridging healing and learning through arts integration in schools and a description of the essential components of the programmes
