Our Inspiration: John Diamond, MD

The approach of Reach Out Arts is directly inspired by the life work of John Diamond (1934-2021). Diamond was a holistic medical doctor who championed the use of the arts for well-being.  At the core of his approach was the notion of altruism.  Put simply: when an artistic endeavor of any kind is done with the explicit intention of helping other people, its therapeutic power is greatly raised.
