Mental health in Greenland is a significant national social and public health issue. This project will design, pilot, and evaluate an evidence-informed arts and health intervention intended to positively impact the mental health of Greenlandic high school students.

This research project aims to understand the role of arts engagement in supporting young people's mental health with a view to develop a technical brief to guide policy. Arts-based programs can promote healthy youth development by improving problem-solving skills, social competence, and a sense of purpose while helping to alleviate feelings of isolation and loneliness (Golden et. al,  2024).

This project seeks to articulate how engaging in the arts can mitigate the health impacts of climate change, communicate about these impacts, and promote adaptive capacity through adaptive behaviours or interventions that address the health risks posed by climate change.
