Social Prescribing Celebration Day on March 14, 2024, is quickly approaching, a day to raise awareness about the transformative power of including creative activities like art in holistic health and wellness treatment plans for Kids & Art pediatric cancer patients. We challenge you to help us raise awareness on March 14 about how social prescribing can positively impact individuals and communities by connecting them to non-clinical support such as art and community activities. Join us in celebrating by dedicating at least 15 minutes on March 14 to engage in a wellness activity: make some art, walk your dog, enjoy a local park, meditate, strike some yoga poses, call or visit a neighbor or friend, and focus on your well-being. And why not invite your family and friends to participate too? Together we can make a difference!  How to get involved?  You can get involved by hosting events, showcasing your work on social media or highlighting what you’re doing in the media. Don't forget to use the hashtag #SocialPrescribingDay when sharing! #artheals https://lnkd.in/dfyX4-SS
