Resiliency Through Art Program:

Resiliency Through Art Program is a relaxing, safe space available to service members. Art is a great way to express yourself and participants are encouraged to experiment with the different supplies available in the space. No prior art experience is required when it comes to expressing yourself! Participants will find art naturally relaxing whether you are painting, sculpting or even making one of the craft kits provided by Help Veterans Heal. This supportive environment is available for use anytime during business hours. EFMP Friendly.
