Orphaned children are potentially vulnerable to psychosocial challenges which arise as a result of the loss of one or both parents. This randomized pre-post experimental study aimed to investigate the effect of a structured art-based intervention on the Psychological Well-being of orphaned children.Eighty orphaned children (7–15 years) from one of the randomly selected Orphanage from Urban Bangalore participated in the baseline assessment of Psychological well-being; the children were administered Psychological Well-Being Scale for Children (PWB-c) at pre-and post -test..The experimental group received structured Art Based activities for six weeks. The intervention group showed a significant improvement in psychological well-being post the intervention than the control group. The finding provides preliminary evidence that structured art-based activities could potentially be a psychosocial approach for supporting psychological well-being among orphaned children.Future research could test the intervention across multiple settings and examine the long-term effects.
