Healing in the arts

Healing in the arts refers to the therapeutic use of artistic expression to promote emotional, mental, and physical well-being. This can involve various forms such as music, dance, visual arts, and drama. Engaging in creative activities can help individuals process emotions, reduce stress, and foster connection with others. Many healthcare settings incorporate art therapy to support patients dealing with trauma, illness, or pain, recognizing that creativity can be a powerful tool for healing. The arts encourage self-expression, provide a sense of purpose, and can lead to improved overall health and quality of life.
