chill & spill | Art With Heart

A PROMISING PREVENTION/INTERVENTION TOOL

Chill & Spill benefits kids dealing with overwhelming stressors such as illness, death, abuse, homelessness, and more. From the survivors of disaster to children of divorce – Chill & Spill helps teens and ‘tweens convey both their suffering and strength, reducing the symptoms of trauma, facilitating healing, promoting coping skills and building self-confidence.

Chill & Spill is effective because it gives youth a safe place for self-expression. It allows them to become active participants in their own healing, to communicate grief and loss, and to see themselves as survivors rather than victims – a critical step in trauma recovery. It works because it is an accessible and immediate resource and is based in the principals of cognitive behavioral, narrative and art therapies.

Chill & Spill underwent a year-long evaluation study to discover the benefits of its use with high-risk youth and the professionals that serve them. You can now view the EVALUATION REPORT online. The conclusions are that:

Chill & Spill fosters Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) through the therapeutic use of art
Chill & Spill supports service providers by aligning with best practices in youth programming

HELP US HELP 20,000 MORE HIGH-RISK YOUTH

In 2005, Art with Heart created and released it’s first Chill & Spill to 1,500 youth affected by Hurricane Katrina. Since then, Chill & Spill has helped a total of 20,000 youth dealing with difficulties.

Due to the overwhelming need, Art with Heart now needs to reprint, but we need YOUR help to do it. This is an opportunity for therapists, caregivers, artists, community groups, and businesses to come together to make an enormous difference in the lives of youth in crisis.

As a sponsor, you will be supporting a promising and meaningful prevention/intervention tool that will help over 20,000 more youth in crisis. Your generous support helps us offset the cost of production, which allows us to continue our programs and outreach to youth in crisis. This is an important investment in the future growth and reach of this effective and proven program.
