Creative therapies
Coram meets children from very complex and traumatic backgrounds every day. They are often very young, and unable to understand or explain their feelings. Some may have witnessed violence; some are victims of neglect; and some have physical or psychological conditions that could see them socially isolated.
We use music and art to stimulate self-expression in children, young people and their parents. For many it is the first step to helping them find ways of dealing with feelings of loss, frustration and emotional traumas so that they can start to learn to trust, love and lead happier lives.

An astonishing 92% of the children we support display positive results which include:
- Increased concentration and attention skills
- Improved family and social relationships
- Enhanced communication and speech skills
- Increased confidence
Our ground–breaking services are run from our Camden Campus, in schools and in the community and are based on our rich musical and artistic heritage - the composer Handel and the artist Hogarth were two of Coram's original founders.
