Problem

Cancer patients or patients with noncommunicable illness are often neglected in their mental health care because only their physiological treatment is thought to be necessary. Those who seek mental health treatment do not have access to tools available due to high cost, unavailability, or negligence deemed as unnecessary.

Accessible and cost-effective, ‘Doolaejai’ art kits provide emotional support for patients in their fight against their illness, but not limited to caretakers who may feel overwhelmed from their immense responsibility. Art for Cancer aims to provide 50 ‘Doolaejai’ art kits for patients.

Update: July 2022

As well as encouraging a strong community for cancer patients fighting their illness and for caretakers whose lives have changed due to their responsibility, we want to create a reminder to the public that physical treatment is not the only form of treatment both patients and their caretakers need but as well as mental health treatment.

We introduced art therapy as a form of mental health treatment for both patients and caretakers since they are cost-effective and accessible. Hence, we have continuingly conducted workshops in hospitals and we also encourage public individuals interested in our art campaigns to join our sessions. In addition to art sessions, we also gave out 20,000 journals to patients in 20 hospitals across Thailand.
