Art as a Tool for Healing and Mental Well-being in Marginalized Communities
Art has long served as a sanctuary for self-expression, reflection, and restoration. In marginalised communities—where mental health services are often scarce, stigmatised, or inaccessible—art can provide a vital, culturally resonant avenue for healing and emotional support. From storytelling circles to community murals, dance therapy to spoken word, creative practices are increasingly being recognised as powerful tools in the journey toward collective and individual well-being.
