What is creative health?

Creative Health is defined by the National Centre for Creative Health as:

Creative approaches and activities which have benefits for our health and wellbeing.

Activities can include visual and performing arts, crafts, film, literature, cooking and creative activities in nature, such as gardening.

Approaches may involve creative and innovative ways to approach health and care services, co-production, education and workforce development.

Creative health can be applied in homes, communities, cultural institutions and heritage sites or healthcare settings.

It can contribute to prevention of ill health, promotion of healthy behaviours, management of long-term conditions, and treatment and recovery across the life course.
