The power of the creative arts for your health
Creative arts programs have been proven to have expressive, restorative and therapeutic benefits for mental health and wellbeing. It’s not just about getting out of your house, creative arts (such as painting, dance or music) give you an outlet to express and make sense of how you may be feeling, without judgement. It is a time you can use to focus on yourself, or get out and socialise with others in the community.
It’s not just adults who can benefit. Children who get involved in creative projects also benefit from the ability to better process the world around them. Creativity provides an outlet for young people to express emotions that can often feel scary to them. Parents report that their children are happier, more engaged in life and find it easier to process and overcome challenges they encounter.
