First Stop Woodlawn – YWCA Toronto, Toronto
This grant enables an innovative arts-based healing module to be added to an existing discussion program for mothers and children who are dealing with domestic violence. In Healing Journey Through the Arts, a specialized facilitator will lead participants in a one-year project that offers tools and strategies for expressing emotions in meaningful ways. Using art as an outlet can create emotional safety while reducing the risk of re-traumatization.
