Program Description

Event Details

Psychiatrists Dr. Carrie Baron, author of The Creativity Cure; Dr. Jeff Katzman, author of Life Unscripted; and Silver Hill Program Director Lindsay Dow CPS-P will discuss ways to improve happiness and mental health through creativity. 

As they argue in their books, engaging in creative activities like art, music, writing and improv can significantly boost overall well-being by promoting happiness and improving health. Creative expression has been linked to reductions in stress, anxiety and depression as well as improved cognitive function and immune system strength.
