and the HSE Mental Health and Wellbeing Programme presents

Vitamin C: The Positive Effect of Creativity on Wellbeing in Older

People | Tuesday, July 21st, 2020 @ 10:30AM

Background: The arts and creativity have an important role to play in

promoting positive mental health and wellbeing – through creating a

space for social connection, enhancing self-esteem and resilience and

supporting people to manage mental ill-health and enable recovery.

Performing and visual arts, reading and writing, and cultural heritage

activities are used to support health and wellbeing among older people

in a wide variety of settings.

The Creative Ireland Programme in association with Healthy Ireland and

the HSE Mental Health & Wellbeing Programme is organising this event

to highlight the role of creative activities in promoting mental health &

wellbeing among older people and to explore future areas for action

and collaborative opportunities in this space. The event will build on a

very successful event run by the Creative Ireland Programme and

Healthy Ireland in March exploring the value of creativity in health to

mental wellbeing outcomes.
