New online arts and health library and website, Greater Manchester Arts Health Network

The new Greater Manchester Arts Health website has been developed as a useful information portal and one stop shop for information, documents and news about arts, health and wellbeing for professionals working across the sectors.

It features a comprehensive and growing searchable library primarily founded from a public health approach to arts and health. It is anticipated that it will build into a useful one stop shop for documents about arts and health for local authorities, arts, health and voluntary sectors. Contributions to the library are welcome at any time.

Although it has a Greater Manchester focus, much of the information on the website is relevant to a wider framework of arts and health in other settings and on a wider geographical footprint. Membership of the network is open to anyone working in arts and health locally, regionally, nationally or internationally.

Greater Manchester Arts Health Network promotes arts and cultural interventions as an integral part of the offer to address public health and health inequalities challenges. The positioning of the network within a wider GM Public Health Network builds critical cross-sector understanding and support.
