"The healing value of the arts is as old as Hippocrates…"
Dr. C. Everett Koop, former U.S. Surgeon General
For thousands of years, people have turned to the arts as a way of dealing with stress … not knowing why, but doing it because it made them feel better!! Expressing ourselves, through words, painting, drawing, dancing or any creative act is good medicine.
Holding on to things is hard work and creative expression not only lowers stress and anxiety, but lessens physical symptoms and promotes wellness.
"… It is not an indulgence, it is fundamental to medical practice…Art uplifts, educates…makes us happier and healthier…" Patch Adams, M.D.
Whether geared to caregivers or care recipients, this stimulating, fun-filled, interactive program will provide the opportunity to reclaim and recapture the wonder-filled world of the imagination and the ART that is in every heART.
