Day 24 of 30 Days of Compassion from Interfaith Paths to Peace

Learn about Artists for Trauma

http://artistsfortrauma.org/index.html

Artists For Trauma (AFT) is a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of both civilian and military trauma survivors by pairing recovering patients with established artists from various disciplines.

The organization aims to expedite recovery through artistic expression and human connection, providing a creative portal to help patients process complex emotions, regain confidence and build self-acceptance after suffering a traumatic experience.

Founded by trauma survivor Laura Sharpe, AFT was inspired by her personal journey to recovery, in which Sharpe connected with the world of art as a source of healing from her near-mortal wounds.
AFT reveals and shares the blueprint of Sharpe's astonishing recovery to help other Level-1 trauma survivors positively reconnect with themselves, their families and their communities.
