Healing Art

Healing Art is a therapeutic program for women at DWCF that uses the creative process of making art to improve a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This program is designed to help justice-involved women:

• Resolve unaddressed issues and manage behavior

• Help deal with difficult emotions

• Reduce stress

• Assist with depression and grief

• Improve self-esteem and awareness

• Connect in healthy relationships

Healing art is not a class, and we do not require that our participants know how to draw or paint. It simply requires a commitment to themselves, an openness to professional self-expression, participation in creative activities, and completion of LifeWork exercises between sessions.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for this program, or would like to know more, please contact us.
