SAN DIEGO, Oct. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Organization for Arts in Health (NOAH) host its Fifth Annual National Conference October 19-21, 2021. Entitled "The Art of Resilience," this year's virtual event will focus on the ongoing health and wellness challenges facing communities, and how Arts in Health (AiH) programs and practitioners are providing relief.
Designed for artists, administrators, healthcare professionals, educators, students, and others interested in the AiH field, NOAH's National Conference brings a diverse group of individuals from healthcare, organizational and arts backgrounds together to share best practices, innovative programs, and recent initiatives to integrate the arts into health and wellbeing practices.
This year marks the first time the World Health Organization will participate, reinforcing the organization's increasing support of AiH programs. Presentations from groups including Walter Reed, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Blind Veterans UK, will highlight how organizations are embracing these programs and expanding their communities' access to them.
Keynote speakers include Evelyn Burnett, Co-Founder/CEO of ThirdSpace Action Lab; Yoko Sen, a musician who's changing the way hospitals sound; and Theo Edmonds, cultural futurist and co-creator of the Cultural Wellbeing Index.

"Arts in Health programs are among the best ways to alleviate burnout, stress, anxiety, and PTSD. The conference provides an opportunity to learn how to incorporate the arts into health and wellness programs, and how to expand the use of the arts to build resilience and enhance well-being."
