Programs With Our Partners
The Foundation for Art & Healing develops evidence-based programs that utilize the creative arts as an effective and sustainable tool for addressing health concerns. We work directly with communities and partnering organizations to customize our suite of programs to improve their community’s wellbeing.
Our programs are designed to benefit the individual participant, the group as a whole, and our partnering organization’s ability to improve community health. Although our programs use creative expression and some incorporate supportive group models, they are not a form of clinical therapy or art classes.
Community First Approach
We believe that one of the most effective ways for the arts to improve health outcomes is to work with community organizations and stakeholders who can develop our proven programs to affect direct change in their communities. By working at individual, community, and national levels, we help community leaders apply best-practices in neighborhoods across the country.
Creativity Circle
The Creativity Circle program promotes social connection through a series of fun and fulfilling arts-based group sessions. Through storytelling and creative expression, this program builds confidence, fosters social connection, and encourages pro-health behavior changes.
