We have brought together some of the best thinkers in arts therapy for this one-day, intensive symposium, said Paula Bell, chair of the event. So much exciting research shows the proven benefits, regardless of age, of participating in the arts for longevity, mobility, cognitive ability and quality of life for all.
The symposium features two inspiring keynote speakers and 14 breakout sessions, with entertainment from a concert pianist. Bell suggests the symposium is targeted to parents and teachers; psychologists; counselors; doctors; caregivers; arts, music and drama therapists; those working with patients with dementia, Alzheimers and Parkinsons; and those aspiring to understand the loneliness epidemic.
Jeremy Nobel, M.D., founder of the Foundation for Art & Healing (FAH), embodies in a most personal way the effort to enlist art and science in the relief of human suffering. Nobel, who is Board Certified in both Internal Medicine and Preventative Medicine, with masters degrees in Epidemiology and Health Policy from Harvard School of Public Health, where he serves on the adjunct faculty, is also a poet, a photographer, and a teacher a practitioner of the humanities. He is scheduled to attempt to answer the question, Can creative expression be medicine?
Nobel will help participants discover how creative expression reduces the physical and emotional burden associated with various types of health conditions and life circumstances," said Ken Crossley, co-chair of the event.
Nobels Unlonely Project is the signature initiative of FAH, a project whose mission is to broaden public awareness of the negative physical and mental health consequences of loneliness, while promoting creative arts-based interventions to reduce its burden. The project has garnered national visibility, including being featured on the Today Show, The New York Times and Psychology Today. Nobel will present a breakout session, Deep Dive with Jeremy Nobel.

Erica Curtis, certified marriage and family therapist, as well as author, speaker and instructor at UCLArts & Healing, co-authored with Ping Ho, the award-winning book, The Innovative Parent: Raising Connected, Happy, Successful Kids through Art.

Her approach has been described as simple, doable and fun.
She believes talking to kids often is not effective, especially when it comes to calming emotions. In her hands-on keynote, Curtis will share art therapy trade secrets to address the countless challenges faced by children and teens when words are inadequate or inaccessible. From anger to anxiety and daily struggles, this session equips the participant with practical tools for calming kids, and is geared toward parents, grandparents, and professionals alike.
