HOW PERFORMING ARTS BENEFIT MENTAL HEALTH

In today’s high pressure society, our kids are over worked, over stressed and held to overwhelming standards. Social media and 24 hour news have added pressures that prior generations did not have to manage. While kids are resilient, many are searching for help, for an outlet where they can express themselves. In many communities, that outlet is the performing arts. The performing arts have been scientifically proven to help kids overcome anxiety, depression, and offer emotional release.  

ARTS AND MENTAL HEALTH

BUILDS CONFIDENCE

ENCOURAGES REAL LIFE INTERACTIONS

CREATIVITY INCREASES HAPPINESS

THE ARTS HELP US ALL

 The beauty created in the arts through music, performance and language is beneficial to the  audience. When we enjoy something, we get out of our heads and into the art, which creates profound emotional healing.

Unfortunately, not every community has a special, safe space that allows creativity to flow and provides an arena for the performing arts to flourish.  

 In a time where gun violence is a growing epidemic in our schools, suicide rates continue to rise, and cyber bullying is at an all-time high, why  Should we be more concerned about paying a couple more tax dollars, or our children’s future success?

The peforming arts create such a significant mental, emotional, and even physical response in our bodies, that the most effective way to recreate that feeling is to get our heart beats pumping and our muscles working.
