In this episode of the ARTS AXIS FLORIDA Podcast, we will interview three organizations that are doing some amazing work in the healthcare and mental health community by incorporating the arts into treatment. We speak with Kerry Kriseman from Creative Clay whose mission is to make Art accessible for people with disabilities, while striving to achieve equality. We also talk with Amy Wiggs from The Imperial Symphony Orchestra and Alice Nuttall from Lakeland Regional Health. The orchestra’s partnership with Lakeland Regional Health works with caregivers and patients through music. Finally, we’ll speak with Nora Paine from New Tampa Players about the Penguin Project which provides theatrical experiences for young adults and students with special needs. If you or someone you know has a mental illness, is struggling emotionally or has concerns about their mental health, there are ways to get help. We have provided access to these resources in our show notes.
