Online Implementation of Dance Movement Therapy and Other Creative Processes for Psychosocial Support During COVID-19 Pandemic
Kolkata Sanved’s Guideline on Risk Mitigation and Emergency Response
Introduction:
The information in this guideline is based on learning and insights gained over the lockdown period, during the COVID-19 crisis. We felt that it is important to have a guideline on how to give psycho-social support through the online medium, which enables us to stay mindful of context and risks, and which lays down a strategy for responding to emergency situations when we do not have the opportunity to be present in-person. We recognize that the guideline outlined below is based on our knowledge of Dance Movement Therapy (DMT)-based interventions; but we also want to make clear that this document is an effective guideline for implementing online programmes based on Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) and other creative processes for psycho-social support. We encourage you to use this document when implementing your online psycho-social support initiatives, with due acknowledgement to Kolkata Sanved. You can translate this into your own language as well. Please note that, when implementing your own programme, you may learn new information or find other useful practices based on the particular context. What we seek to present through this document is a roadmap: something from which to guide your own actions and activities in the crisis situation.
