Free Arts for Abused Children of Arizona

Healing abused, homeless, and neglected youth through artistic expression.

The creative arts are a powerful way for children who have suffered the trauma of abuse, neglect and homelessness to express their innermost feelings.
• Oftentimes, children who have experienced abuse have many conflicting feelings at the same time- anger, fear, shame, sadness. Expressing these emotions through the creative arts is a safe way for children to show how they feel.
• According to a study conducted by the British Columbia School of Art Therapy, the arts are crucial to the healing of abused children.
• Some children have no language to describe their thoughts and feelings; visual expression offers a greater range of effective vocabulary than is possible through verbalization.
