Art Healing Program

This class is offered to women and children who have been identified as victims of domestic violence.  In this class, we create a safe place for children to build trust with an adult.  During this class, the children are guided through art projects.  Art empowers survivors to transform how they view themselves, allowing them to see past the abusive messages they learned and rebuild their self-confidence.
