Le Well HPE Upcoming Events

The connection between arts and well-being, which has been recognized since the very first Le Well Wednesday Wellness Workshop in partnership with Duke Arts Create in January 2024, is gaining traction - and evidence! According to a recent article in the Guardian, "Professor Daisy Fancourt, the director of the WHO center and is also a co-author of the research, said it had shown that “arts engagement has diverse and tangible effects on health, from supporting cognitive development and protecting against cognitive decline, to reducing symptoms of mental illness and enhancing well-being..." What better reason to check out Le Well’s weekly Wednesday workshops!!? Duke Arts Create offers workshops twice monthly, and we also hope students will propose workshop ideas and partner with Le Well to implement!
