The Healing Power of Creativity | Jacques Lalonde | TEDxBearCreekPark

Six years ago, Jacques Lalonde had a stroke and almost died. It was in the hospital room deep in despair that he turned his nightmare into a play, changing the narrative and transforming the other stroke victims, as well as himself, into heroes in his story. He tells us how creativity has helped others in remarkable ways and tells us about his greatest hero, his incredibly creative mom, who taught him to do something he loves every day. Jacques Lalonde survived a life-threatening stroke and discovered the healing power of art and creativity in recovery. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
