Creative Arts & Storytelling for Health and Wellness

The Creative Arts and Storytelling in Health and Wellness project brings together campus, health system, and community partners to provide education and awareness about ways to integrate the arts in healthcare, health education and promotion, and individuals’ health and wellness. The goal of the project is to provide opportunities for individuals and organizations to learn about and engage with creative ways to communicate about health and healthcare and increase wellness through visual arts, comics (graphic medicine), and personal narratives. To achieve this goal, a one-day summit featuring invited speakers and workshop hosts with expertise in integrating the arts and humanities into the practice of healthcare, health care education and community engagement will be held on the campus of University of South Alabama (USA).
