Manage episode 237802403 series 2521555
It's not often that we receive a message from doctors upon the diagnosis of Alzheimer's or dementia to go dancing or paint a picture. But what if it was? Doctors around the world are beginning to recognize the health benefits of engaging in arts activities as a treatment for all sorts of illnesses. Today, we talk about the movement of creative aging, what it is, and how it has a direct impact on our health and wellness. Deb Campbell with Arts and AGEing KC shares how participation in the arts as we age is a way for us to process life, later in life, as we find more time and space for reflection.
