We’d like to share an update from Gatehouse, a department at The Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne that provides counselling and crisis intervention services to children and young people affected by sexual abuse.
Last month, Gatehouse was able to purchase ‘sandplay’ toys using funds raised from our recent concerts and donations. Sandplay is a hands-on, non-intrusive and often non-verbal form of therapy which helps traumatised children express their feelings, wishes and needs.
Thank you to all of our supporters, from The Melbourne Sinfonia and Gatehouse.
