Question 1

Are families informed about the process?

Accepted Answer

Yes. General observations regarding the workshop process can be shared with the family. However, respect will be given to the child's/adolescent's personal space, privacy, and sense of security.

Question 2

Is an interview conducted before the workshop begins?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a brief preliminary interview is recommended before participation. This interview will assess your age, needs, expectations, and suitability for the workshop.

Question 3

Who might it not be suitable for?

Accepted Answer

In cases of acute crisis, intensive psychiatric support needs, or individual therapy requirements, the workshop alone may not be sufficient. In such situations, it is recommended that families seek support from specialists working in the field of child and adolescent care.

Question 4

Are the workshops at State Studio a form of therapy?

Accepted Answer

The workshops at State Studio are not a substitute for therapy. The workshops are structured group activities where children and adolescents can express themselves through art, play, and storytelling. Families are referred to relevant specialists when necessary.

Question 5

Does my child need to be good at drawing?

Accepted Answer

No. The goal of the workshops isn't to produce a finished product. What's important is how the child encounters the material, what they experiment with, and what they choose to express.

Question 6

What does the Jungian perspective mean?

Accepted Answer

Some of the work at State Studio is inspired by a Jungian perspective. This means that symbols, images, stories, and inner worlds are considered important in creative processes. The aim is not to interpret the child or adolescent, but to accompany them in creating their own expression in a safe space.
