Happy Creative Arts Therapies Week!

CATs Week takes place yearly in the 3rd week of March, celebrating and raising awareness about creative arts therapies and the importance of mental health.

As bell hooks writes, "The function of art is to do more than tell it like it is - it's to imagine what is possible." To practitioners, students, educators and supporters of art therapy, creative arts therapies, and the healing arts - much gratitude for all you do in advancing the use of creativity and imagination for individual and collective well-being!

FUN BOOK FACT: A study at the University of Sussex found that reading can reduce stress by up two thirds – making it a much more efficient relaxation method than listening to music, drinking a hot cup of tea, or even taking a walk. Reading for just 6 minutes each day can help reduce stress by up to 68%!

Participants who engaged in just six minutes of reading for pleasure were also found to have a significantly slower heart rate and reduced muscle tension.

Another study, led by researchers from Yale University School of Public Health, revealed that adults who reported reading books for more than 3 ½ hours per week were 23 percent less likely to die over 12 years of follow-up, compared with those who did not read books.
