What We Offer
Healing by Art provides a safe space for women to come together, celebrate their culture and find safety. The group creates a safe space for women's voices to be shared, to move through trauma, to build their strength and create art that supports their healing.
Healing by Art is about supporting Aboriginal women to undergo social and emotional healing through art within a culturally safe space. The program is facilitated by an Elder and/or artist. Women are encouraged to identify their personal strengths and reconnect with their cultural knowledge.
Women are empowered to overcome intergenerational trauma, grief and loss.
There are also opportunities for women to develop their art and art businesses
Eligibility
