We are excited to announce that the Colorado Resiliency Arts Lab (CORAL)<\/a> will run a study at Colorado College in the Spring semester. Held in collaboration with CC’s Health & Wellbeing, Arts & Crafts, Creativity & Innovation, and the NEH Professorship, this program offers faculty and staff an opportunity to connect, explore, and reduce stress while contributing to current research. <\/p>\n

About CORAL:<\/strong><\/p>\n

CORAL is based at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and is an interdisciplinary group of doctors, researchers, and creative arts therapists who have come together to improve resilience in healthcare workers. CORAL has conducted two randomized controlled trials demonstrating that their Creative Arts Therapy program improves participants’ wellbeing. CORAL’s upcoming study at CC extends this research into higher education.<\/p>\n

About the Program<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starting in the Spring semester, CORAL will be offering Creative Arts Therapy sessions in tandem with the CC Arts and Crafts for Wellness program. Faculty and staff can choose from three participation options: the CORAL visual arts group, the CORAL writing group, or a series of CC Arts and Crafts for Wellness programs.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
