Mental Health for Artists: A Why Art? Podcast
By Carly Fleming, M.Ed. RP
Registered Psychotherapist
Earlier this month I had the pleasure of being interviewed for the Why Art podcast.
It was such a great conversation. The Why Art podcast is a Hamilton-based project that interviews Canadian artists about everything related to their art. They have recently launched their second season which continues to highlight art and artists but also includes a focus on important issues relating to artist life.
This is where everwell comes in! I was invited to the podcast to discuss the very important and timely issue of mental health for artists. We talked about why the pandemic has created such mental health struggles for artists (and for all of us!), how artists can express their emotions through creativity, how to create workplaces and workspaces that allow attention to mental health struggles, and much more. I also highlighted the ways that everwell can support artists with counselling services available at a variety of flexible price points.
Whether you’re an artist or not, I think you’ll enjoy this conversation. Thanks for listening!
