How often do you get creative? For me, it’s actually not very often & I’m sure that’s true for most of us.
But Caitlin Marshall & Lizzie Rose say it absolutely should be a priority in all of our lives as an essential tool for supporting good mental health - they even argue its science backed powers make it something that should be prescribed just like medication.
They’re the founders of Makeshift - an organisation that helps to deliver creative first aid to people who need it most. They’ve worked with disaster affected communities, juvenile justice centres, injured workers and employers across the country.
In this episode you’ll learn the science behind why our brains love being creative & some of the creative prescriptions you can start to introduce into your life whether you have a minute, 10 or 30 to play with!
