Healing & Hope
|
When natural or military disaster strikes, leaving thousands of traumatized children and adults in its wake, The ArtReach Foundation offers hope. Through a unique program using expressive arts and creative problem solving, those affected are offered the tools necessary to heal and live productive lives. Even after the trauma occurs, some individuals will deal with grief many months, and possibly years, later. In some cases, their caregivers may also have experienced their own suffering, making it difficult for them to provide full care. At precisely the time the traumatized child or adult may need special assistance, caregivers and social institutions may be least able to come to their aid. ArtReach is an instrument of hope with a unique program for children and adults. Their approach allows the expression of the individual’s deepest fears and traumatic experiences and creates the opportunity to heal. |
