It was such a pleasure to welcome Ronald. Amanze back to University of Surrey this week. He co-lectured with me @SurreyPsych on the topic of living with dementia and how creative activities can improve health and well-being.

I can’t emphasise enough how important it is to bring people with lived experience into the room for all dementia-related teaching and research activities. Thank you Ronald!

Engaging in creative activities like singing, poetry, or drawing can boost mood, improve communication, and reduce social isolation. Even visiting art galleries has therapeutic benefits as @victischler highlights here: psychreg.org/depressed-art/
