Healing & Hope for Children

When natural or military disaster strikes, leaving thousands of traumatized children in its wake, The ArtReach Foundation offers hope. Through a unique program using expressive arts and creative problem solving, children are offered the tools necessary to heal and live productive lives.

Even after the shooting stops, a child will deal with grief, trauma, and, in some cases, caretakers that are dealing with personal grief and unable to provide care. At precisely the time these children may need special care and assistance, adults and social institutions may be least able to come to their aid.

From Katrina to the war torn areas of Bosnia, ArtReach has been an instrument of hope. With our unique program, children are allowed, sometimes for the first time, to express their deepest fears and traumatic experiences, creating the opportunity to heal.
