Burnout and isolation continue to rise on college campuses — and students need support that goes beyond the clinic.

Art Pharmacy helps university students pause, breathe, and reconnect with what restores them through our social prescribing model.

By linking students to community engagements and non-clinical supports, we help reduce day-to-day stress, strengthen belonging, and improve overall well-being.
When students feel connected, they feel supported — and health follows.

Gratitude isn’t just a feeling, it’s a form of connection. Research shows that practicing gratitude can reduce stress, boost mood, and strengthen our sense of belonging.

This week, we’re reflecting on the people and moments that make healing possible: our members, our partners, and our communities who remind us that connection improves our overall well-being.

Check out Business Insider’s new article exploring how clinicians and corporations are responding to the growing loneliness crisis — not just with medicine and AI tools, but with connection.

At Art Pharmacy, we see every day that creativity, community, and culture are powerful forms of care. When people engage in meaningful experiences, their well-being improves. Their sense of belonging grows. Their health outcomes follow.

This feature highlights what our partners and members already know: healing becomes more human when healthcare reaches beyond the clinic walls and into the communities that restore us.

Loneliness doesn’t just affect mood, it impacts long-term health.

According to the CDC, 1 in 3 U.S. adults report feeling lonely or socially isolated, increasing their risk of heart disease, dementia, and depression. Among Art Pharmacy’s adult members, 75% reported better well-being after consistent creative engagement, with effects comparable to psychotherapy.

Community, creativity, and connection remain some of the most powerful (and human) forms of care.

This week, leaders, providers, and innovators gather in San Diego for the Behavioral Health Tech Conference—where collaboration and technology meet to transform mental health care.

At Art Pharmacy, we share that mission. We believe the future of behavioral health lies in connection between healthcare systems and the communities they serve. By integrating arts, culture, nature, and community into care pathways, we make healing more human and accessible.

Belonging isn’t just a feeling—it’s a measurable outcome.

Among dual-eligible Medicare and Medicaid members, 72% experienced reduced loneliness after participating in community engagements like art, culture, or nature. Across all members, 62% reported feeling less lonely after similar experiences, as measured by the UCLA-3 Loneliness Scale.

When people connect through creativity, belonging becomes more than an emotion—it becomes public health.

New research out of Canada underscores the connection between community ties and loneliness. The report found that how connected you feel to your community is a stronger predictor of loneliness than how often you participate in activities or where you live. While urban residents reported slightly higher loneliness, the most powerful buffer was a sense of belonging.

At Art Pharmacy, we know that connection matters. Through creative, community-based programs, we help people feel seen, supported, and part of something larger.

“It also helps in the healing part of it, honestly, because it's stress-free. We don't have to pay anything. Art Pharmacy is just saying, here's an activity, just go have fun… don't worry about money. That’s one less thing to worry about financially. It really helps in the healing process.”

For many of our members, healing begins with accessibility. Art Pharmacy’s social prescribing model removes barriers to care and connects people with arts and culture experiences that support emotional, mental, and financial well-being.

More than 70% of Art Pharmacy members who began their journey with a mental health concern, such as anxiety, depression, or loneliness, reported improved well-being after engaging in an art, culture or community experience.

Through social prescribing, creative engagement becomes a bridge to better mental health, community connection, and lasting resilience.

Loneliness doesn’t just affect how we feel; it can affect our health on a genetic level.

A new study from Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences shows that people who report more warmth, trust, and satisfaction in their relationship have gene activity that supports a stronger immune system and less stress.

This suggests that social well-being and connection actively support biological resilience. At Art Pharmacy, we trust creative connections' power to support mental and physical well-being.
