Sign up for online workshops with @streetcones - using arts and creativity to support recovery. No experience or artistic skills necessary.
Are you in recovery (or know someone?) Check out our new self referral programme. You don't need to have any interest in the Arts or being creative. Why not try a taster session and let us help you RECOVER YOUR VOICE!!!

The stories of incarcerated women are so often overlooked. RTA members at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility had the opportunity to weave their life experiences into an original musical production, "Amazing Grace". #Herstory #womenshistorymonth

TAGPP Youth Project utilizes the power of the arts to reimagine ways to engage with children who are currently incarcerated. We attempt to break the generational and cyclical issues associated with incarceration by teaching young people to view themselves as valuable individuals!

What a moving panel and exhibition from @PAC_CSU on the power of art to bring healing and reconciliation for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals. As one panelist put it: “Creative writing is the cheapest form of therapy.”

Replying to @PPAmissouri
@PPAmissouri Thank you for sharing @PAC_CSU work and my words. With no help, resources or outlets, unresolved traumas make kids into broken adults & poor decisions. Arts access gave me a safe space to be creative and find parts of me that had never had a voice!ARTS BRING HEALING!
