Growing evidence has identified multiple benefits of arts and creative practices for听health and well-being. These offer significant scope for behavioural change听interventions and patient activation and empowerment. However, in Latin America,听essential gaps in basic knowledge and awareness reduced the potential positive听impact of arts on brain health.
Based on the expertise of the Global Brain Health Institute at Trinity College Dublin,听Ireland and the Latin American Brain Health Institute at Universidad Adolfo Ib谩帽ez,听Chile, we have created the Creative and Arts Intervention Network Latin America. This听network aims to support projects and online communities promoting the use of art to听improve brain health and create support for vulnerable communities. The seminar will听introduce the network and present recent emerging projects using arts to improve听brain health in different populations and discuss how we can promote and co-develop听art-based understanding, awareness, and education for brain health.
