Arts-based interventions for maternal well-being
Supporting mothers to maintain good physical and mental health is a key public health concern because of the long-term social and economic implications for them and their children. Arts and health programmes offer a positive social return on investment and provide healthcare commissioners with lower-cost alternatives to clinical models of care. This systematic review examines published studies that examine the relationship between arts-based acti…
Social action art therapy and the enhancement of political imagination
This article provides research-informed insights on the use of social action art therapy within the context of working with diverse communities to imagine future responses to climate crisis at a local level.

‘Withness’
Aiming to illustrate the potential for puppetry as a useful resource in dementia care, the authors argue unusually that play with puppets derives not particularly from drama or theatre, but fundamentally from the performative relationship people have with objects. The puppeteers of the study achieved remarkable emotional connection with care-home residents through an experience of puppetry, which dissolved the unitary autonomy of the puppet, reco…
