Did you know over 40% of the Canadian population is suffering from mental health disorders?
What study and research shows on the role of different forms of art on mental health and healing:
Five benefits of using music therapy with cancer patients have been reported in the literature: increases in hospital patients' sense of control, promotion of wellness and the healthy aspects of patients' lives, reductions in pain and increases in immunity, decreases in anxiety, and reductions in psychological and physical symptoms.
Visual Arts can be a refuge from the intense emotions associated with illness. There are no limits to the imagination in finding creative ways of expressing grief and relieve anxiety. In particular, molding clay can be a powerful way to help people express these feelings through tactile involvement at a somatic level
Dance and movement has accompanied recognition of the mind and body benefits of motor activity. Movement-based creative expression focuses on nonverbal, primarily physical, forms of expression as psychotherapeutic or healing tools. Through the movement of mind and body in a creative way, stress and anxiety can be relieved, and other health benefits can be achieved as well.
Theatre or Acting has both cognitive and psychological well-being measures, specifically word and listening recall, problem solving, self-esteem, and psychological well-being.
Expressive writing individuals who have written about their own traumatic experiences exhibit statistically significant improvements in various measures of physical health, reductions in visits to physicians, and better immune system functioning. Writing increases health and wellness in varied ways.
"But art can go beyond healing individuals. Art heals our society."
Here is what LOUD Art Society's research summarizes:
Being creative is perhaps the most distinguished of human characteristic and one of the only reasons we differ from other living beings, we are able to have more control over creating our own realities.
Creativity is crucial for emotional and mental health because it enhances our mind management skills while we constantly search for solutions for different circumstances in our lives .
People are the most confident when they can express themselves in the best way possible, further, practicing creativity can empower people to improve their communication skills, understand their choices better, optimize their productivity, memory and use their full potential.
Practicing any creative activity carries meditative qualities and in other words it is a form of meditation.
During such activity our brain is active the most as both sides of the brain are working together simultaneously.
A creative person has unlocked the eternal joy and is happy, healthy, empathetic and confident.
We would like to inspire and motivate you by bringing art and creativity into your living and working space.
