GCRF_NF178 Mobile Arts for Peace (MAP) at home: online psychosocial support through the arts in Rwanda
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Lincoln
Department Name: School of Fine and Performing Arts
Abstract
During COVID-19 lockdown the Rwandan government initiated strict measures to prevent movement outside the home. Restrictions due to the pandemic increased risks of gender-based violence, teenage pregnancy and school drop-out. Previous studies reported that 26.1% of the population were estimated to have symptoms related to posttraumatic stress disorder (Munyandamutsa et al. 2009); whereas recent studies have reported similar prevalence (RMHS, 2018) and genocide survivor organizations have reported an increase in mental distress during the lockdown. Deteriorating economic conditions pose a significant risk to young people's mental health, which could be further entrenched should further waves of the pandemic occur. Specifically, within Rwanda, there are no current initiatives to provide psychosocial support at home (including referral systems for those in need of more specialist intervention) or building two-way communication and synergies between formal and informal education structures (i.e. schools and community-based groups) to enable learning and social networking during social distancing.
MAP at home examines the potential for providing mental health support and community engagement in Rwanda through interactive online platforms, participatory arts workshops, and communications between young people, educators, cultural artists and psychosocial workers across the five provinces of Rwanda: Rwamagana District (Eastern Province); Rubavu District (Western Province); Gicumbi District (Northern Province); Huye District (Southern Province); and Kicukiru District (Kigali Province). MAP at home will research the prevention of, response to and awareness of mental health and promotion of psychosocial well-being among youth, families, and community members through an innovative arts-based, culturally-informed approach, responsive to the needs of participants.
MAP at home will generate knowledge on how to reach, engage and equip young people and caregivers with tools for psychosocial wellbeing through the development of a psychosocial module, online and participatory workshops (subject to COVID-19 guidance and social distancing measures), and integration of psychosocial workers. MAP will partner with community-based mental health provider Uyisenga Ni Imanzi, research organisation Institute of Research and Dialogue for Peace (IRDP), national cultural organisation Rwanda Arts Council, and government mental health providers Rwanda Biomedical Centre/Mental Health Division and National Rehabilitation Services to coproduce the design, implementation and dissemination of research from a local to national level. UNESCO serves as a project partner to align national to international policy implementation concerning youth policy and mental health. The project will respond to the following research questions in relation to COVID-19:
*How can arts-based approaches be translated to online platforms to enhance psychosocial well-being?
*What lessons can be learnt from the provision of online arts programmes for psychosocial well-being, especially regarding building resilience (individual and systemic) against future outbreaks or crises?
*How might MAP at home advance digital innovation in the design and delivery of mental health provision and response services in Rwanda?

| Description | MAP at Home researched the prevention of, response to, and awareness of mental health and promotion of psychosocial well-being among youth, families, and community members through an innovative art-based, culturally informed approach, responsive to the needs of participants. It aimed to examine the potential for providing mental health support and community engagement in Rwanda through interactive online platforms, participatory art workshops, and communications between young people, educators, cultural artists and psychosocial workers across the five provinces of Rwanda: Rwamagana District (Eastern Province); Rubavu District (Western Province); Gicumbi District (Northern Province); Huye District (Southern Province); and Kicukiru District (Kigali Province). The project delivered over 30 workshops between November 2020 - August 2021 that included 16 parents, 21 health professionals, 23 health facilities, 33 students, 34 community health workers, 36 teachers, and 56 schools with an overall participant base of 108 research participants who engaged in monthly online workshops. Additional training provided to 46 hospitals, 74 health centres, and 3 rehabilitation service centres reached an additional 4,000 research beneficiaries. Concerning the need for MAP at Home, there is limited uptake of mental health services in Rwanda. Although most of the population are aware of where they could seek support for mental health (61.7 per cent), only 5.3 per cent reported having utilized existing mental health services. The most common reason given for not seeking mental health support was that the individual did not know that mental health was a problem that required medical treatment (40.5 per cent). Other reasons given for not seeking support were lack of money (39.6 per cent), inability to get to the location of services (32.5 per cent), and fear of being stigmatized (27.1 per cent). The approach of MAP at Home was to engage a therapeutic model of design and delivery to include professional psychosocial care alongside community-based considerations of well-being through peer-to-peer mechanisms and to train mental health providers. Additionally, these workshops were designed to train facilitators in the MAP at Home model and to assign and support the face-to-face group sessions within their respective communities, as well as link mental health service users with mental health services at health centres and district hospitals and to increase the awareness of mental health issues in the community. The MAP at Home project enabled an online space as an external and social platform to integrate Kinyarwanda proverbs and Rwandan cultural healing practices to address mental health during the time of COVID-19. Art-based approaches enabled a 'deeper understanding of participants' social lives and cultural practices and the context and complexity of their experiences' (Goopy and Kassan 2019: 1) during the pandemic to inform mental health provision and to consider more inclusive and culturally informed mental health provision practices more generally. • New research methods and tools: MAP at Home created a psychosocial module that was used to deliver the online workshops between November 2020 - August 2021 consisting of 5 units including 1) Emotion; 2) Sharing Stories; 3) Active Listening & Deep Stories; 4) Family & Community Engagement, and 5) Give & Take. Additionally, MAP at Home created an online curriculum for individuals to engage with the learning materials through asynchronous methods. The online curriculum was delivered in 15 schools for over 600 students using smart screens between January - March 2022 (https://modules.lincoln.ac.uk/map/). • New research networks, collaborations or partnerships: MAP at Home initially partnered with one district hospital and two health centres in each district. However, due to the ability of MAP at Home to address an existing need for psychosocial support, there was an increased demand for services. By March 2022, MAP at Home delivered training for mental health professionals from 46 hospitals, 74 health centres and 56 schools. Beyond the online workshops and school-based MAP at Home clubs that delivered the online curriculum, MAP at Home increased uptake of mental health services via 1318 face-to-face sessions between clients and mental health service providers in connection to MAP at Home. The National Rehabilitation Service integrated MAP at Home into 3 centres that served 400 clients. MAP at Home served over 4,000 research beneficiaries. • New research capabilities or specialist skills: MAP at Home trained research beneficiaries who were at a low level of digital literacy to use digital methods through a series of workshops and provision of smartphones (online workshops) and smart screens (online curriculum in schools). Through a series of co-production workshops with research beneficiaries including psychosocial workers, young people and educators, the psychosocial module was developed to deliver arts-based workshops via Zoom. Researchers used LearnDash via the online curriculum and WhatsApp via the online workshops to collect data such as drawings, poems, songs, films, and images that were shared by research beneficiaries in response to research tasks and creative prompts. • New knowledge generated: 1) Importance of framing mental health within the Rwandan context of community-based healing practices vs the dominant Western concepts of mental health and psychiatric care in Rwanda, i.e. decolonization of mental health provision. 2) Ownership of MAP at Home techniques by research participants who co-produced and applied the MAP at Home materials with their peers and community members who suffered psychological pain related to varied past experiences (1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi) and current (COVID-19 lockdown) events, i.e. de-mystification of mental health provision. 3) Use of arts-based approaches and online platforms enabled greater access to mental health provision, particularly for those living in remote areas or whose lifestyle and responsibilities might not enable them to travel to health centres (ex: young mothers). In a participatory action research (PAR) project conducted with the MAP youth trainers who also served as co-researchers, the young trainers made observations that participants were able to share deep and personal stories (when this is not customary to Rwandan culture). They commented on the importance of the durational and hybrid nature of MAP at Home that focused on the monthly delivery of workshops alongside the face-to-face sessions with psychosocial workers. MAP at Home enabled a safe, inclusive, and culturally-informed approach to mental health provision during the pandemic that reduced stigma and enhanced access to mental health services that can be recommended for future outbreaks. |
| Exploitation Route | MAP at Home research impacts was identified to address the need for decentralisation of mental health care and integration of community-based approaches; sensitising mental health issues, fighting stigma and developing human resources. Concerning the key findings above, the MAP at Home project has addressed the integration of community-based healing approaches and the training of trainers and psychosocial workers. In this way, the workshops and training have enabled knowledge transfer between MAP trainers and psychosocial workers for the provision of mental health support through arts-based methods. The online monthly workshops will be facilitated by teams that incorporate MAP trainers and psychosocial workers working in tandem. The development of digital literacy has enabled wider community engagement through e-clinics and online psychosocial support. The model developed by MAP at Home has been heralded by the Rwanda Basic Education Board and Rwandan Biomedical Centre as an effective mechanism to administer mental health support to Schools and their prospective communities. In addition, hard to reach research participants have been selected through the National Rehabilitation Services; particularly former drug users and street-connected youth. As stakeholders in the MAP at Home project, there are ongoing discussions concerning the integration of the MAP at Home methodology into the national remit of both organisations. |

| Description | Findings have been used to inform the 'Mental Health in Schools' programme and the 'scaling up' of the project has been considerable due to the close partnership with leading mental health organisations and schools in Rwanda including the Rwanda Biomedical Centre. Additionally, findings have informed the development of a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme in partnership with the University of Rwanda focused on the MAP at Home methodology that trained mental health professionals from 46 district and province level hospitals. Due to the demand for MAP at Home, we received additional requests for training healthcare professionals. MAP at Home provided two workshops in each of the five districts to train a total of 130 mental health professionals. MAP at Home aimed to increase uptake of mental health services. There were a total of 1318 face-to-face sessions between clients and mental health service providers in connection to MAP at Home. During the online workshops, The National Rehabilitation Service has integrated MAP at Home into three centres that served 400 clients. Over 74 health centres, 5 district hospitals, 1 provincial hospital and 56 schools were trained in the MAP at Home approach and disseminated the methodology through workshops and clubs via a 'train the trainer' model with an average of 38 participants per health centre and school with a total of over 4,600 participants served. Additional requests to integrate MAP at Home into 3 prisons and to streamline the methodology into the current mental health care system will reach an estimated 10,000. Lessons learned: 1) Importance of framing mental health within the Rwandan context of community-based healing practices vs the dominant Western concepts of mental health and psychiatric care in Rwanda, i.e. decolonization of mental health provision. 2) Ownership of MAP at Home techniques by research participants who co-produced and applied the MAP at Home materials with their peers and community members who suffered psychological pain related to varied past experiences (1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi) and current (COVID-19 lockdown) events, i.e. de-mystification of mental health provision. 3) Use of arts-based approaches and online platforms enabled greater access to mental health provision, particularly for those living in remote areas or whose lifestyle and responsibilities might not enable them to travel to health centres (ex: young mothers). In a participatory action research (PAR) project conducted with the MAP youth trainers who also served as co-researchers, the young trainers made observations that participants were able to share deep and personal stories (when this is not customary to Rwandan culture). They commented on the importance of the durational and hybrid nature of MAP at Home that focused on the monthly delivery of workshops alongside the face-to-face sessions with psychosocial workers. MAP at Home enabled a safe, inclusive, and culturally-informed approach to mental health provision during the pandemic that reduced stigma and enhanced access to mental health services that can be recommended for future outbreaks. Dissemination of the project has focussed on traditional and digital platforms to inform and influence the Rwandan community; we have developed and published a dedicated project webpage. The MAP at Home website has an average of 1145 visitors per month. The project broadcasts on traditional media outlets and collaborates with local TV and radio through MAP partners including the IRDP and Kwetu Film Centre. The Kwetu Film Centre also acts as an advisor for disseminating outputs and resources and promoting the MAP at Home project at national, regional and local levels. MAP at Home has developed diagnostic arts-based tools informed by Rwandan culture and Kinyarwanda concepts. This framework has also informed monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) tools that have been created with MAP at Home stakeholders including Rwanda Biomedical Centre, National Rehabilitation Services, mental health provider users, and MAP trainers. The employment of Kinyarwanda terminologies has enabled widespread participant engagement and knowledge production based on an indigenous and decolonial research methodology approach. A representative from the Rwanda Biomedical Centre stated: 'As we care for those with a variety of mental health problems, this training has helped us to see what we can do to improve our daily lives and to try to explain to our clients the problems they face in Kinyarwanda.' This key development has foregrounded Rwandan healing practices in MAP at Home and by focusing on new perspectives offered by Kinyarwanda concepts, the project will generate new opportunities for learning from cultural and community knowledge in Rwanda that can enhance quality of life and mental wellbeing. Stories of Change: Case Study: 1 'I lost my parents when I was young and that left me traumatised. Growing up I never liked being alone. I would feel at ease and happy when I was surrounded by people. When Covid 19 was first detected in Rwanda, I was afraid because the news kept on reporting about people dying around the world due to the virus. However, I always felt comfort with the people around me. Things took a turn for the worse for me mentally when the Rwandan government declared a nationwide lockdown and instructed us to stay at home and avoid meeting with people unnecessarily in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. To me, this time was extremely hard, I felt alone, isolated, and hopeless; it took me back to the time I lost my parents. When MAP at Home came, it was very much needed for me. I made friends who I could relate to and connect with, whether it was during the online sessions or our WhatsApp group. I also learned about the mental health professionals around my area who could support me whenever I felt traumatized. The MAP at Home project also helped me learn how to express my emotions. It was not easy at first. I was a bit scared of sharing my story online to strangers but through support from the MAP at Home participants and facilitators I felt heard. One instance I can remember is when I was sharing my story during an online session, the exercise that I was participating in was called "when my heart was open". I felt very emotional about sharing what I had been through and my heart was heavy with sadness. However, seeing the participants actively listen to me and singing kwihoreze (let me support you) afterwards made me feel so much better. I am thankful for the project because at a time I was feeling hopeless and isolated, the project allowed me to meet new people online to socialise and to be happy.' - Female community participant, 25 years old, Kicukiro, Rwanda Case Study: 2 'As a clinical psychologist and a MAP at Home facilitator the benefits of the MAP at Home project for me are countless. First as a facilitator, I gained leadership skills through facilitating some of the online sessions. I learned how to work with different people, as well as how to work with my fellow facilitators. Second, since the purpose of the project was about mental health wellbeing, personally I felt happy and relaxed mentally while I was participating in some of the MAP at Home exercises. I also felt great joy when I saw how the participants were opening up and enjoying the exercises. Additionally, through exercises such Umbrella (umutaka w'ibibazo) I learned that no matter the problem, they can always be a solution if we work together and support each other. Lastly, the MAP at Home project helped me as a clinical psychologist because I gained knowledge. An example I would share is before I used to encounter patients who had difficulty expressing themselves; it was a challenge for me because I did not want the session with the patient to go like an interview (question and answer). However, through the MAP at Home project I learned various exercises that would allow the patient the ability to express themselves freely without harming them.' -Male clinical psychologist, 32 years old, Rwamagana, Rwanda |

| Results and Impact | This activity consisted of 4 moths of intense interventions with groups at risk such as teen mothers, people recovering from drug addiction, former homeless children, beneficiaries of mental heath services, families in conflict, and genocide survivors. For these interventions, we formed 164 groups containing all the above categories for a total of 1318 participants, and with the involvement of 17 health institutions and 12 schools. Throughout the 4 months, participants met weekly (once bi-weekly) for a total of 16 sessions spanning from May to September 2021. The aim of this subsidiary activity of MAP at home, was to test whether artistic approaches were effective in healing emotional wounds at the community level. After the sessions, participants stated that healing with arts was essential and helped them to open their minds, and to invite new friends in their lives. As a result, participants felt that this project certainly helped them in creating new stories, transforming them, and building up resilience and strength as compared to their capacity to do so before the workshops. |

| Results and Impact | The workshops took place in the months of February, March, May, June, July, August, across the 5 districts. They counted on the participation of people from different groups at risk such as Teen mothers, people recovering from drug addiction, former homeless children, beneficiaries of mental health services, families in conflict, and genocide survivors, in addition to the facilitators (teachers, psycho-social workers, young and master trainers). These healing workshops were conducted monthly in an online format, prior to which the facilitators would meet for 5 days to prepare and rehearse the activities contained in the workshops. Each workshop covered 1 out of the five modules that constituted the whole module. The objective of these workshop was to contribute to the healing of emotional wounds through the use of online psychotherapy. Topics covered included managing emotions, cases online , help someone from a distance, and responding to the pandemic and stay-home directives. As an outcome, at the end of project participants expressed that the knowledge in the above topics was gained, especially related to mental health support, the regulation of emotions, emotions creation, story creation and modification, and healing emotional wounds. After each workshop, we would reflect on its results and benefits with the use of WhatsApp. This socialisation via WhatsAp also worked as a way to remind participants to attend subsequent workshops. |

| Results and Impact | MAP Indonesia, on July 15th 2022, organised an online exhibition with facilitators and young researchers showcasing the comic book and film the young researchers created in phase 2 small grants to the Local Office of Empowerment and Child Protection. Including in the exhibition was presentations of the creative processes behind the art forms. Ade Ibnu as the young researcher representative of the 'Brawl' research, explained how identification of problem evolved to making Comic book entitled JANGAN (Don't) about brawls. The young researchers chose Brawls for their topic and chose comic book as the final product. Then they started making the script with the other four young researchers. Following inputs of drawings and pictures, Vina Puspita (MAP doctoral researcher) helped illustrated the comic book. Then the young researchers met the village head for a consultation about the comic. After getting the feedback from the village head they felt the feedback was relevant and so added, then finished off. A policy brief from the research was produced. Muhammad Haikel Akmal Buchori continued it by explaining the process of making the 'Sexual Violence' film entitled RUMAH TAK RAMAH (Unfriendly Home). It started the same way as the brawl research, the young researchers chose sexual violence as their research topic based on the problem tree analysis and chose film as the final product. They then conducted a quick survey for community members to understand their perspectives on the issue. In parallel, a youth facilitator (Endang) of Yayasan Bandungwangi conducted semi-informal interviews with few survivors of the violence. Together the findings informed young researchers' development of the film's synopsis, with consultations from filmmakers at Kalamtara film house. The young researchers created a script then proceeded to look for shooting locations and actors. The actors then went through acting training by Kalamtara. The young researchers took several days for the shooting, editing, retake some scenes, re-edit, adding some soundtrack for the film while consulting with the cultural artist from YPMAI, and finally finalised the editing. The two small grants research projects then moved to use the two art forms in focussed group discussions with community members and young people. The meeting then closed with some statements from the Local Office of Empowerment and Child Protection saying; "The process is very long and tiring, but the results are very good. Hopefully, the artwork will be an inspiration for other children. Hopefully not only in Jakarta, but also nationally." "It's nice to see the children's work, it's not easy, there were a lot of challenges. Convinced that the whole process can be a lesson for children or facilitators. Moreover, the issues raised are not easy, quite heavy. Appreciation to all parties involved. Hopefully, further collaboration can be continued." The online exhibition was attended by young researchers and their facilitators, Local Office of Empowerment and Child Protection, representations of subdistricts (Kecamatan), Jakarta Art Council and Child Protection Agency. |
