Therapeutic Arts
THERAPEUTIC ARTS & COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Music and creative experiences thoughtfully designed for hospitals, care communities, and community spaces. Through familiar songs, rhythm, movement, and meaningful connection, each offering meets people where they are and creates space for expression, comfort, and belonging.
Arts in medicine
Arts in Healing brings accessible, hands-on art experiences directly into healthcare settings for patients, families, and healthcare workers.
The program strives to support emotional well-being by creating moments of reflection, expression, and joy throughout the healthcare journey and help transform clinical environments into more compassionate and creative spaces that promote healing and human connection.
Hearts in Arts
Cancer treatment is an unsettling time in every cancer patient’s journey. At Halifax Health – Cancer Center for Hope we’ve developed the Arts in Medicine program to offer patients and their caregivers a chance to experience the therapeutic benefits of the arts during this time. Arts in Medicine gives patients a way to share who they are as a whole person, rather than one who is defined by a diagnosis.
Our Heart to Arts program focuses on not only youth and adolescents who are experiencing the loss of a parent, but also the caregivers and counselors supporting them. Through Camp Erin and Halifax Hospice’s Camp Begin again, we are able to help adults combat compassion fatigue.
