Art for Wellness with Debbie Crouch
Manage episode 450943075 series 3524955
How can art become a powerful tool for mental well-being, especially for students navigating the pressures of academic life? In this episode, I speak with Debbie Crouch from Art for Wellness about the transformative impact of creative expression on mental health. Debbie shares her personal journey of rediscovering art as a means of healing and empowerment, which eventually led her to create a global community using art for wellness.
We explore how art can be a source of stress relief, self-expression, and personal growth, particularly for university students dealing with feelings of anxiety, comparison, and self-doubt. Debbie highlights the process of creating art—not the final product—as the key to its therapeutic benefits, allowing students to reconnect with their emotions and find joy in the act of creation.
Debbie also offers practical advice on how students can incorporate art into their lives, regardless of skill level or resources, and emphasises the importance of self-care and embracing our unique creative voice.
