Artistic activities, through their ability to stimulate emotions, imagination, senses, and cognition, while promoting social interaction and physical activity, have a profound impact on individuals' overall health. They can induce positive psychological responses, such as emotional regulation, and physiological ones, like stress reduction.
These benefits extend to health prevention and promotion, contributing to general well-being, child development, the improvement of social determinants of health, and support for healthcare staff. In curative and palliative care, the arts offer support to individuals with acute illnesses, neuro-developmental or neurological disorders, chronic conditions, or those at the end of life.
It is with this perspective that the Jonzac Hospital Center, in partnership with local stakeholders, invites the public to discover the events offered during this period.
Specific programs are available for the regions of Gémozac (Saintonge-Viticole and Saintonge Romane) and Royan Atlantique.
