Mission Statement

We create and implement artistic and creative educational, pedagogical, mental health and therapeutic workshops and groups for children and adolescents, parents and families in need.
About This Cause
MILPERA was created in response to a growing demand for initiatives in health, social and educational fields. MILPERA supports the well-being, education and good mental health of everyone, with a philosophy centered on creativity to find solutions and make a difference. We believe that everyone has the right to have access to quality education and psychological well-being, regardless of their socio-economic or cultural situation and we work towards making mental health, wellness and educational services accessible for all. As clinicians working for many years in hospitals, health, social work, educational fields, we are convinced that the future of psychological and educational support lies in creativity, artistic mediation and the art therapies. That's why we founded MILPERA. A creative health and education space that nurtures healthy minds, creatively. We have three main poles: Education, Mental Health and Sustainability. EDUCATION: our goal is to make education more fun and to stimulate children's imagination so that they are encouraged to discover their own passions, develop a genuine desire to learn, and realize their potential. Our holistic, child-driven approach inspires and empowers our students to be leaders. We work to ensure that every child, regardless of economic, social, or cultural circumstances, has the opportunity to develop the resources that they possess, and to have access to a quality education that sets them up for life. MENTAL HEALTH & WELLBEING: Working with multidisciplinary teams of professionals and experts in their field, we are passionate about using creativity for mental health outcomes. We use art therapy, dance, music and drama therapy. These are forms of mental health support that use artistic practice and tools for mental health and therapeutic objectives. We have programs in hospitals, aged care facilities, schools, cultural centres, businesses and we work with refugees, asylum seekers, disadvantaged youths and families, those with mental health disabilities among others. SUSTAIN-ABILITY Our "SustainABILITY" project was created with the aim of offering "creative green programmes" and "green mental health programmes" in schools and businesses. We aim to support, maintain and strengthen the capacities, skills and resources of each individual so that they can awaken their potential and good mental health, and, become environmentally friendly and advocates for a healthy earth. For every Sustain-ABILITY program that is implemented we have promised to plant a certain number of trees per project in relation with an international reforestation organization.
