ARTS AND HEALING INITIATIVE

SANTA MONICA, California, 90405-3111 United States

Mission Statement

Our mission is to transform lives through the innate power of the arts, guided by mental health practices, to foster healing, connection, and resilience for all. Through community service, free program offerings, virtual trainings, and curriculum manuals, we empower the public to apply mental health-guided arts practices sustainably in their own lives and communities. We imagine a world where healing through the arts can be accessed anywhere, by anyone.

About This Cause

Shared creative experiences offer organic opportunities for meaningful dialogue and the development of empathy. By integrating mental health practices in the process, we can deepen possibilities for personal and community transformation. Creative expression through the arts is a universal language for all circumstances. It’s simple, accessible, powerful, and immediate. It brings joy, connection, and meaning. It is a window into our soul. How would our world be different if socially and emotionally supportive arts experiences were available everywhere—in schools and universities, hospitals, recreation settings, senior residences, and community-based organizations? We’re facilitating a movement to make this possible. How? By developing sustainable creative tools for anyone to use at the front lines of need. By providing a much-needed evidence-basis for their benefits. By raising the bar with mental health practices to deepen the meaning of human experience. And by joining forces with you, we are now beyond the tipping point for this movement. The sudden increase in opportunity and demand from a variety of national and international sectors tells us that the scale has tipped.
