  abstract     = {{<p>In the scope of arts within community and healthcare settings, the ethical dimension is an ever-present companion. As practitioners and researchers, our relationships with participants, often vulnerable, are loaded with ethical considerations. Recent years have seen an increase in stakeholders involved, heightening the importance of ethical awareness. The arts, known for pleasure and personal expression, also hold the potential for positive health outcomes. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that participation in arts activities can sometimes lead to negative effects. In research and practice, this chapter navigates the complexities of ethics and recognises the potential for unintended harm, such as emotional distress, and the importance of obtaining informed consent. The distinction between artists and therapists becomes significant in delineating roles and responsibilities. Triggers, whether from traumatic experiences or emotional distress, must be handled with sensitivity. Guidelines and training emerge as crucial tools for ensuring ethical practice and protecting participants. Ultimately, ethical engagement in arts and health projects requires a comprehensive understanding of potential risks, clear boundaries, and a commitment to promoting positive outcomes while safeguarding participants and facilitators alike, against harm.</p>}},
