The Healing Arts

Description:

This project uses the visual, performing and literary arts in conjunction with other services to promote healing and prevent subsequent unhealthy behavior among children and youth who have suffered emotional and physical trauma. Professional artists work closely with small groups engaged in drama, pottery, painting, writing or photography, helping the young people discover their creative talents as a way to express their pain and their hope. Based at a residential treatment center, the program integrates children into a social experience where art is the common denominator rather than past abuse.
