Gay Asian Proud (GAP): LEGO® Play Therapy and Lunch

LEGO® Play Therapy is an evidence-based approach to understanding and sharing a person's feelings and communication style with others. Using benefits of play therapy, participants will gain insights to their emotions and behaviours in a supportive environment. Pick up tips to improve your mental health using LEGO® play.
