Thera-Build®

A Playful Therapeutic Approach for Promoting Emotional Well-Being in Children Using LEGO® Bricks.

Thera-Build® is an adult led but child-centred therapeutic approach for building confidence, raising self-esteem and encouraging purposeful conversation. It is based on authentic, playful, active interaction with children and young people to improve social skills, build resilience, nurture positive relationships and promote good mental health, through shared construction experiences with LEGO® bricks.
