Abstract
The editorial briefly discusses the Russian invasion of the Ukraine and the need for art-based disaster relief for those most affected. With reference to a previous Special Issue of the Journal of Applied Arts & Health (JAAH 9:2), the role of art, no matter the form, is discussed as an active agent of learning, resilience and of healing. Art-based psychosocial work aims to support individuals, families and groups affected by crisis, provide psychosocial well-being and prevent mental health crisis in times of trauma. Further the importance of self-care for those working in this field is highlighted. The editorial introduces the current journal issue’s content which covers a range of research projects.
