Yes, of course. This program was designed to integrate people with and without mental health problems.
I am 11 years old but turn 12 this year, can i still participate?

Im an not good or trained in art, can I still participate?

Do participants with mental health problems have to disclose it to the group?
No, this will not be required in any moment. Although our psychology team will have access to this info based on the previously filled questionnaires, they will never disclose any personal or clinical data concerning the participants.
Can I take a friend to participate in the program with me?
You can invite whoever you wish to be part of the program, as long as they fulfill the pre-requirements (being 12-24 years old and being able to understand portuguese). However, each participant will have to fill their own form, and it is not garanteed that two acquaintances are placed together in the same group, given that the research team will allocate participants to each group.
Can I go to only some days of the program, or just be present during a part of the day (mornings, for instance)?
No. Since the program has a logical sequence of activities and was thought out as a whole, it is fundamental that each participant attends the 4 days of the program, during its full time schedule (9h-18h).
