Jolien translates the evidence-based health care intervention into art intervention, connecting scientific insights (NeuroArts), ancient wisdom and practical exercises. Her programs support participants in dealing with negative thoughts differently, self-awareness and empathy, stress reduction, joyfulness, meaning-making and resilience.

In this eamba Exchange Jolien will explore how art and mindfulness support mental health and she will share some of her practice-based programs.
