The Power of Arts on Prescription

Arts on Prescription is a part of the social prescribing movement, which aims to link people to non-medical services in the community. It recognizes that social determinants, such as social, economic, and environmental factors, can impact health and well-being. By addressing these broader determinants through tailored and personalized approaches, social prescribing offers a holistic person-centered approach. Arts on Prescription specifically uses art as a therapeutic tool to improve mental health and well-being. Research shows that engaging in arts has a significant impact on mental health, and arts-based interventions have shown positive results in increasing mental health and social inclusion for participants.
