A Creative Health Communication Framework by Dr Jane Hearst is now available from Routledge – with discount for Arts Derbyshire readers
Arts Derbyshire is thrilled to celebrate the publication of A Creative Health Communication Framework, a powerful new academic text authored by Midlands-based Creative Health Consultant and Media Producer, Dr Jane Hearst. Published by Routledge, this book equips researchers, policymakers, and creative practitioners with a strategic framework for delivering mental health and wellbeing outputs.
Written primarily during Jane’s PhD at De Montfort University and expanded with practical examples developed during her time as the Midlands Creative Health Associate at the National Centre for Creative Health (NCCH), the framework offers a way to communicate clearly and confidently about the role of arts and creativity in supporting mental health. Drawing on both academic theory and lived experience, the framework was co-created with members of the public to ensure accessibility, relevance, and authenticity.
