Supporting helping professionals through the arts: a multi-tiered approach to wellbeing

This session will draw on two research studies: First, a systematic review that has been funded by the Wellcome Trust and gathered relevant evidence on different uses of the arts as a way of supporting the wellbeing of helping professionals. Second, the results from an exploration of the uses of the arts in hospitals in the UK, in which a multi-tiered approach has been adopted to support the wellbeing of clinical staff. Ways in which the arts have been used to impact on multiple levels will be presented and discussed including an organisational, teams and individual level.
