Can Art and Culture Heal our Collective Traumas?
|
|
Public Health, as described by the World Health Organization, is “The art and science of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts of society”. Then to no surprise, public health efforts have an active role to play in mobilizing communities toward healing and recovery to the body, mind (and some might even say spirit) particularly where a collective agreement and taboo or stigma has been imposed.
