ROOM 704
Stress among healthcare professionals is a well-known concern. Although many of us know through direct experience the power of artmaking in the healing process, there is limited, documented evidence for its long term effects on reducing stress and enhancing well-being. This workshop will present the findings from the initiation and sustenance of a workplace wellness model called “Wellness Wednesday” that employs creative arts therapies to foster mutual support among professional colleagues and promote self-care. Using both narratives and artwork, the presenters will examine their process, provide experiential examples, and reflect on the role of creative self-expression in combating workplace stress.
