Creative Australia (CA) as announced a new two-year initiative that aims to strengthen the role of the arts in health and community care.
The impetus comes from consistent recent research that demonstrates that the arts can assist – and alleviate – mental health triggers, and assist in better wellbeing. It is important to note that this project is focused on supporting artists working in community health settings, rather than art therapy – which is a related, but a different specialised field.
