Loneliness during adolescence can have a long-lasting impact. A new study tracking teens into adulthood found strong links between adolescent loneliness and later struggles with mental health, emotional well-being, and relationships.

These results highlight the importance of early interventions that nurture connection and belonging. At Art Pharmacy, we believe creative community care can be a powerful part of the solution.

September is National Su***de Prevention Month. During this time, we seek to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and remind each other that no one should ever feel alone in their struggles.

At Art Pharmacy, we use social prescribing to support emotional health through connection, creativity, and community. Whether it's a writing group, a dance class, or a walk through a gallery, healing can start with being seen.

You are not alone.

Last year, over 30 organizations came together to celebrate the inaugural Massachusetts Good Neighbor Day, a statewide initiative promoting connection, kindness, and community.

We’re excited to share that the 2nd Annual Good Neighbor Day, now expanded to a full weekend, September 26–28, 2025. Whether you host a neighborhood gathering, plan a “find your people” fair, or simply check in on someone who lives alone, every act of kindness matters.

The 2025 Good Neighbor Day Toolkit is now available with logos, ideas, and more to help you plan.

Let’s make this year’s celebration even bigger, bolder, and more connected than ever.

After January’s wildfires in Southern California, Maple Counseling turned to art therapy to help children and families process trauma through creativity.

At Art Pharmacy, we believe in this same approach. Creative expression is not only healing; it’s essential care. That’s why we work with healthcare systems to include arts-based support where it's needed most.

“In a new report, the World Health Organization (WHO) reveals that 1 in 6 people globally suffer from the loneliness epidemic, a condition now blamed for more than 871,000 deaths each year, or about 100 every hour.”

The impact is clear, loneliness is linked to chronic disease, mental health struggles, and premature death. At Art Pharmacy, we use social prescribing to address disconnection through creative, community-based care, because connection saves lives.

On International Relaxation Day, we’re reminded that rest is not a reward, it’s a necessity.

Chronic stress can take a toll on both mind and body, but research from the Mayo Clinic shows that relaxation techniques, like deep breathing, guided imagery, and creative expression, can reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure, and improve focus and mood.

August is Back to School Month, a time of transition, pressure, and new beginnings for students. As the semester begins, mental health support is more important than ever.

According to a U.S. News survey, 70% of college students have struggled with mental health since starting school. Yet most don’t seek help due to stigma, cost, access barriers, or simply not knowing where to begin.

At Art Pharmacy, we believe that mental health support should meet students where they are, and that healing doesn’t always happen in a counseling office. Through arts-based social prescribing, we work with colleges to connect students to creative, non-clinical support.

What if your care plan included a painting class, a poetry club, or a dance lesson?

In a compelling new article from NPR and Rhitu Chatterjee, Art Pharmacy's work with social prescribing is spotlighted as a rising movement to tackle loneliness, chronic illness, and increasing healthcare costs. This approach emphasizes community, creativity, and connection.

By partnering with health systems, universities, and cultural institutions, we connect people to arts-based programs that support mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

The University of North Carolina School of the Arts is the first arts conservatory in the country to offer social prescribing, thanks to a new partnership with Art Pharmacy and the Kenan Institute for the Arts.

Starting this fall, trained staff at UNCSA will be able to refer students to creative experiences, from gallery visits to music workshops, to support mental and social health.

This innovative program reflects a growing national movement to address student well-being through upstream, non-clinical solutions, particularly at a time when college mental health challenges are at an all-time high.
