Online events on creative activities as health interventions.
'Creative Health' may sound obscure, but it's vital to wellbeing as our population ages

Music therapy reduces agitation and need for medication in 67% of people with dementia. An arts-on-prescription project has shown a 37% drop in GP consultation rates. This week is #creativity and #wellbeing week www.culturehealthandwellbeing.org.uk/news/general... Low cost #health interventions

At the @carers-uk.bsky.social Share and Learn sessions on #storytelling, we've chatted through permission to share our #story This Friday, we talk through our #wellbeing as we tell our #stories There are places left - we'd love to see you there if you are a #carer us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

December can be such a time of profound unease & challenge, especially if we feel #alone Our @londonlitlab.bsky.social workshop on Dec 14th provides a community space to #write & express perhaps how we #feel if we are affected by #health & #care issues www.londonlitlab.co.uk/course/writi... #NHS

25 years ago today, Mum was told her cancer was terminal. Shatteringly awful. There are many views on the #assisteddying bill today; I hold views but realise how sensitive a topic it is. What I do hope for, 1/4 century later, is much better #endoflife care & even in #cancercare too. Remembering Mum

Very much looking forward to tomorrow's 'Share and Learn' workshop with @carers-uk.bsky.social there are still places available at the Dec 6th and Dec 13th sessions on #writing and telling our #stories as #carers carersuk.org/help-and-advic…#WritingCommunityt#writet#carersr#carer#socialcarer#NHSHS

Very much looking forward to tomorrow's Share and Learn #writing workshop with @carers-uk.bsky.social A comfortable & safe place to begin exploring telling one's #story as a #carer with bookings still for workshops to follow in December www.carersuk.org/help-and-adv... #socialcare #writingcommunity

Just 2 weeks to go until the workshop @londonlitlab.bsky.social and I are running on #writing our #health & #care #stories Bookings here www.londonlitlab.co.uk/course/writi... With an #NHS plan being consulted on, now is a good time to share our #story in #healthcare #socialcare for #carers

I have a #mentalillness & have lived with it for 23 years. What else explains my #story? A great deal! We are more than our #health | #care needs need not define us. We will #write all this and more at my new @londonlitlab.bsky.social workshop on Dec 14th #NHS www.londonlitlab.co.uk/course/writi...
