Art & Creativity for Healing

About Art & Creativity for Healing

OUR MISSION: To support emotional healing through art and creative expression for those living with pain, grief, fear, or stress. WHAT WE DO: We assist children, women, men, families, and military personnel suffering from the emotional impacts of abuse, illness, grief, fear or stress using our Art4Healing® method. Our workshops, designed for non-artists and artists alike, provide expression, encouragement, clarity and insight, and are held at our facility in Laguna Hills, CA, and on-site at hospitals, treatment centers, schools, military facilities, shelters, and other non-profit centers. Since 2000, Art & Creativity for Healing, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, has served more than 50,000 individuals and partnered with 35 other nonprofit agencies. With support from foundations, corporate and private donors, we provide programs and services for approximately 3,000 Orange County and San Diego residents each year. We serve all individuals regardless of race, creed, sex, age, or emotional stability. OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH HEALTHCARE: Art & Creativity for Healing, Inc. partners with hospitals, treatment centers, healthcare agencies and caregivers to integrate Art4Healing® programs and provide professional development for healthcare professionals. Our programs are designed to work in conjunction with and enhance other therapeutic models including traditional talk therapy. Our mix of artistic development and expression, coupled with a creative healing model, allows participants to learn a new way of communicating through color that encourages emotional breakthroughs and further enhances the therapy process. Unlike other art programs that employ a loose format of free expression, our curriculum contains strictly guided exercises (led by our trained facilitators) designed to elicit emotional responses.
