Arts in Health Institute

Music, art, dance and drama in health care: what the trials actually show, what is still only promising, and how people get referred.

Music, art, dance and drama, and the health claims made for them.

The green room

Where readers compare notes: what a session was actually like, how a referral came through or failed to, and whether a claim someone has heard stands up. One house rule shapes the whole board, and it is that a number gets asked for its source. Miriam and Rhian moderate, from two different positions. Threads lock themselves once 60 days pass with no reply, and stay readable.

Finding a session

Getting to a therapist or a group: referrals, waiting, private fees, and what is available where you live.

When it is for someone else

Arranging, watching and worrying on behalf of a parent, a partner or a child.

Does it actually work?

Claims, figures and where they come from. Bring a number, expect to be asked for its source.
