Healing Beyond Words: How the Arts Save Lives with Dr.Tasha Golden

My guest today is Dr.Tasha Golden. Dr. Tasha Golden, PhD is a speaker, consultant and an internationally-recognized leader in the science of “Creativity x Wellbeing”. Golden’s talks and publications have helped catalyze paradigm shifts in healthcare, public health, and the creative sector—such as her work on “Arts on Prescription”: a growing model of care that is reshaping how “health” is defined and created. Holding a PhD in Public Health, Golden's work is informed by her history as a career singer/songwriter, founder of Project Uncaged: a trauma-informed creative writing program for incarcerated youth, and developer of “How We Human”: a pioneering Mental Health training designed specially for creative professions. Bridging research and action, Golden’s partnership tools and “Health IDEAS Framework” have helped thousands of leaders reimagine and enhance their work, grow their reach, and ignite their social impact. Recent projects focus on arts/culture assets as untapped health resources, and the wellbeing impacts of design and immersive experiences. In this episode we discuss public health, science, creativity, music and mental health.
