Transforming children’s trauma to resilience through the arts.
About us
Free Arts for Abused Children of Arizona uses a wide variety of arts as therapeutic tools to help heal children. We are the only nonprofit organization in Maricopa County, indeed all of Arizona, delivering creative and therapeutic arts programs, at no charge to participants or partner social service agencies, ages 3 to 26 years. Through a unique combination of arts, a therapy-based curriculum and evidence-based mentoring, Free Arts staff and trained adult volunteer mentors help participants channel emotions, release trauma and express themselves creatively to build self-confidence and develop trusting relationships with adults. Each year, Free Arts and its dedicated volunteers serve more than 8,000 children at 120+ sites run by our network of 40+ agency partners. Since our inception, we have proudly served more than 165,000 participants in the state through our collaboration with partner agencies.

Getting excited for this week’s Child Abuse Prevention conference! I will be giving a workshop on supporting people (including you) who have been hurt by the social expectations placed on emotions. This includes mindsets about emotional expression, assertiveness, care, self-care, and coping mechanisms. If you’re attending, come by on Tuesday afternoon. Interested in the topic? Book me to speak to your community group, workplace, or youth and family serving nonprofit.
