THE WORKSHOP<br />
HELPS THE<br />
CHILDREN TO<br />
FORGET THEIR<br />
ILLNESSES FOR A<br />
SHORT WHILE.<br />
40% of children in hospital<br />
complained that there were no<br />
activities or opportunities to play.<br />
A high frequency of engagement<br />
with arts and culture is generally<br />
associated with a higher level of<br />
subjective wellbeing.<br />
Creative arts have been shown to<br />
alleviate anxiety, depression and<br />
stress while increasing resilience and<br />
wellbeing, shortening the length of a<br />
hospital stay.<br />
