About the Event

Are you an artist or work in the arts and mental health sectors?

Join us for an online forum where Dr. Christina Davies will share the impactful results of the Good Arts, Good Mental Health® campaign, which will also be presented at the EU Parliament on 12 June 2025.

2024/5 evaluation results have shown that the world-first, population-level, trademarked, Good Arts, Good Mental Health® media campaign has empowered the Western Australian community by:

  1. Raising awareness, comprehension and agreement that arts engagement can have an impact on mental wellbeing;
  2. Helped people realise that “you don’t have to be good at art for the arts to be good for you”;
  3. Raise community awareness of the “arts-mental health dose” of two or more hours per week, and;
  4. Increased community intentions to engage in the arts for better mental health.
