This brochure introduces the Arts on Prescription approach to mental healthcare and provides an overview on health effects, economic benefits, as well as characteristics of the ‘Baltic model’ developed, tested and evaluated in our Interreg BSR project.
The glossary outlines the Arts on Prescription in the Baltic Sea Region project’s organisation, the AoP model, and its meaning and related definitions.
The project „Arts on Prescription in the Baltic Sea Region” (2023-2025) is co-funded by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) in the frame of the Interreg Balticc Sea Region Programme.
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.
