Student wellness is more than just physical health - it’s mental, emotional, and social wellbeing too.
Research shows arts education is a wellness powerhouse:
👉 Builds emotional regulation skills that help students navigate stress and challenges
👉 Reduces stress and anxiety, just 45 minutes of art-making lowers cortisol by 25%
👉 Creates supportive peer connections through collaborative creative experiences
👉 Gives students healthy outlets for expression and processing emotions
But arts programs are disappearing just when students need them most.
Federal cuts to the NEA and NEH would eliminate these essential creative outlets in communities nationwide, leaving students without these proven tools for mental and emotional health.
Investing in arts education is investing in comprehensive student wellness.
