Here is one of the 30 ways that you can help celebrate 30 years of “Art Heals!”:
Free Arts for Abused Children is a
nonprofit organization that integrates the healing and
therapeutic power of the arts into the lives of children
and youth who have been abused or families who have been
designated as “at risk”.
Free
Arts recruits, trains and places volunteers to work hands-on
with victims of abuse. Dance, drama, writing, music, and
painting are just some of the avenues of creativity used
to encourage abused children and youth to channel their
emotions, release anger and develop positive methods of
communication.
Artistic expression builds confidence and self-esteem.
The philosophy behind all Free Arts for Abused Children 
programs is simply that “Art Heals!”
Free Arts sparks the creative spirit
of abused, homeless and at-risk children and their families
to inspire and transform their lives through the power
of artistic expression. Free Arts plants the seeds of
hope and healing to help children build self-esteem, improve
social skills, develop trust with caring adults and express
emotions in a positive way. The philosophy behind all
Free Arts programs is simply that “Art Heals!”
