ARTS in HEALTH
Your community clients deserve programming that does more than fill a time slot.
Arts in health brings creative, contemplative, and expressive practices into community programs — creating accessible entry points, deepening engagement, and making difficult conversations feel possible.
This work is especially meaningful for organizations committed to the health and wellness of African, Caribbean, and Black communities, and for those working in mental health, addictions, social services, and social prescribing — anywhere that connection, trust-building, and culturally relevant experiences matter.
What I can offer your organization:
- Program design built around your clients’ needs and your program goals
- Facilitated workshops that transform standard sessions into something genuinely engaging
- Facilitator training so your team can carry the work forward
- Creative enhancements to programs you already run
A popular starting point is Artmaking for Stress Relief & Wellbeing — an arts for self-care workshop that’s easy to slot into an existing program calendar and consistently lands well with participants.
Available in English or French. Programming can be delivered in-person, online, or in hybrid formats.
Arts in health programming creates a low-barrier pathway into your full range of services — and it works.
Let’s talk about how we can collaborate.
“Belinda has a keen sense of working effectively and compassionately with groups. She has a warm and grounded presence, great intuition and an ability to combine head and heart in a way that is authentic and effective. As an educator and facilitator, I trust and greatly enjoyed co-training alongside Belinda.”

If your organization wants to create memorable staff training experiences, or offer creative programs for staff or volunteer wellness, then arts in health programming may be the perfect solution for your team or department.
A workplace wellness workshop for employees can cover self-leadership, self-awareness/mindfulness training/stress reduction, self-care strategies and non-violent communication (NVC) for the workplace, with a strong creative/ art-making component.
For any organization, from a bottom-line perspective, the primary benefit of a wellness program is a significant reduction in healthcare costs.
The happy facts are that employees who are nurtured and given tools for self-care become even more connected to team goals, and are more productive for longer periods — everyone benefits from fewer sick days.
I have created internal workshops for professional development days, conferences and staff training sessions.
Let’s talk about a new way to elevate and extend your team dynamic and effectiveness.
“In the hustle and bustle of engaging in community work as a service provider, it was empowering to participate in a wellness program designed with MY wellness at the forefront. Each week, I learned a little bit about artistic technique, and a little more about my colleagues. Drawing Together created a safe space for me to connect with my coworkers and explore our shared experiences as people first; not just as professionals.”
