Award Summary:

Funds are being used to expand arts-based prevention and healing opportunities for children impacted by the opioid epidemic. This investment supports group-based programming led by trained artists that integrates visual arts, performing arts, and music as tools for emotional expression and connection. By providing safe, creative outlets to process experiences, explore feelings, and articulate hopes for the future, the initiative builds protective factors that reduce the risk of future opioid use while fostering resilience, confidence, and healthy coping skills.
