ABOUT US
Acting for Health uses the power of acting and creativity to tackle complex medical and global health challenges. We use a unique and powerful methodology, grounded in the Science of Acting and based on several years' work in the areas of disability and mental health, to help patients suffering from disease, their communities and also provide services to those working in the field: NGOs, Government Ministries, Pharmaceutical Companies...
Acting for Health engages and empowers patients to regain self confidence and their involvement and standing in society through participatory group projects using theatre and film, whatever their disability, disfigurement or mental health issue.
Acting for Health works with wider communities to find solutions and to convey and teach important and complex health messages to prevent stigma as well as foster an environment for the positive inclusion of NTD patients in communities.
Acting for Health works with healthcare professionals to teach the skills needed to support and communicate with patients and communities, and the skills needed to train healthcare colleagues.
At Acting for Health, we currently focus on:
• blindness & deaf-blindness
• mental health
• disability
• Neglected Tropical Diseases & diseases of poverty
• behaviour change
These conditions carry an immense toll on patients and communities, with many experiencing long-term burden and disability leading to social & economic exclusion, stigma and poor mental health.
