The BeCause Movement is a not-for-profit initiative that is here to change general perceptions about the role of art in restoring mental health and wellbeing.
Advocating the increased adoption of social prescription as a relevant and valid treatment for depression, trauma, and other mental health issues, BeCause Movement brings together the expertise of psychologists, therapists, academic researchers, artists and communities from all around the world, to create higher level of awareness and understanding of this valuable utility - art. It achieves this by engaging these communities collectively across four focus areas: Public Murals Community Workshops, Individual Contributions to Art and Mental Health and Research within this field.
This movement was founded by the globally renowned artist and psychotherapist - Noula - who has dedicated her extensive career to the provision of constructive resources for building positive connections between minds and behaviour. Noula’s work is fueled by a deeply held ambition to eliminate the influence of shame on our collective lives and behaviour. She believes that with the support of a trauma informed psychotherapy practice and a better understanding of the effectiveness of art process on our mental health and wellbeing, individuals can move through debilitating emotional distress, to a higher quality of life.
As an NFP, BeCause is governed by a board of experienced individuals within the field of mental health and the arts. The board now consists of 4 individuals and is expected to grow in size by the end of 2020.
