Hevea Objective

HEVEA aims to provide access to artistic tools for individuals, including those
affected by disabilities, physical impairments, reduced visibility, mental health issues,
and older adults. Our goal is to create resources, workshops, and opportunities that
enable artists and people with disabilities or chronic conditions to showcase their
talents, connect with the broader artistic community, and improve health outcomes.
Growing evidence and numerous articles suggest that the benefits of arts in
healthcare have a holistic positive impact on mental, physical, and social well-being.
Art can help individuals navigate the emotional journey of battling an illness or injury
and process difficult emotions during emergencies or challenging situations. Clinical
studies indicate that engaging in creative activities can reduce stress, elevate mood,
and lower blood pressure.
