ABOUT US

Creativity is often overlooked as a positive behavioral intervention tool that promotes healing and trauma resolution. Self-expression can spur personal insight as well as self-motivated behavioral changes; it also helps youth gain the skills necessary for coping with stress and other challenges. Art with Heart encourages resiliency using the concepts of art therapy to lead toward greater self-confidence and emotional clarity.

Art with Heart’s books and programs are based on mental health therapies that are effective in helping improve emotional wellness and reducing the potentially damaging impact of stress. Through our carefully researched and thoughtfully crafted publications, youth facing extraordinary life challenges are equipped with skills and strategies that support resilient responses to adversity.

Art with Heart has had the privilege of helping over 41,000 young people through the healing power of creativity. Our work supports schools, hospitals and other nonprofit organizations who are dealing with fragile populations of kids at times of extreme crisis, such as after a diagnosis of cancer, a natural disaster, or the tragedy of a school shooting.
