PROTECT
HEALING ARTS KITS
An Emergency Psychological First Aid Kit Designed by a Consortium of Psychiatrists, Therapists, First Responders, Parents and Teachers to Mitigate New Cases of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Children Living Through Violence, War, Terrorism and Other Crises
“We found that the Healing Arts Kits are a revolutionary work in preventing PTSD. We saw immediate effects in our Day Care Centers and we know the children under our care to be safer because of this program.”
HEAL
HEALING INK
Healing Ink covers the scars of survivors of mass violence, First and Second responders and the families of victims, helping them reclaim their bodies and continue to heal physically and emotionally.
“My scars from the shooting defined me. I was embarrassed to walk out of my home and more embarrassed that I couldn’t even hold my child because of the fear of PTSD reactions. The tattoos made me proud of my body again. I am no longer ashamed or afraid.”
BEAUTIFY
GRAFF HEALS
“The park was empty. Children were afraid to go there because they saw the shelters and were reminded of the war and terror. Since you painted them, color and light...and children...have returned.”
Graff Heals beautifies communities ravaged by war, conflict or misuse, turning the ugly reminders of terrorism and neglect into massive, outdoor art galleries, returning light and color to communities in need.
