The Arts on Prescription (AoP) concept is that people dealing with mild to moderate mental health problems such as stress, anxiety or depression as well as those at risk of developing such conditions get a prescription not for medicine or therapy, but for taking part in art activities. This has been proven to have positive health effects and to improve mental well-being.

This video presents museums as places to improve the mental health and well-being of local communities – a good practice from Cēsis, Latvia. The pilot programme is a part of our project “Arts on Prescription in the Baltic Sea Region” co-funded by the Interreg Baltic Sea Region programme.
