Color Kentucky Healthy
The Color Kentucky Healthy Initiative encourages collective coloring to help employees, students, patients and visitors refocus, calm and relieve their stress. It aims to normalize the practice of taking moments to prioritize mental health care without guilt or shame through coloring. Coloring is proven to have many benefits, not just for children, but adults too, including:
- Reducing stress and anxiety
- Improving focus and mindfulness
- Encouraging relaxation and improving sleep
- Refocusing thoughts in the present moment
The Color Kentucky Healthy Initiative is a partnership between UK HealthCare's Healthy Kentucky Initiative, UK HR Health and Wellness, UK HealthCare Office of Patient Experience, UK Integrative Medicine and Health and UK HealthCare Corporate Communications.
