Today, we are visiting with partner agencies that helping to produced the Inspiring Creativity in Mentoring Sympoisum to be held on April 20, 2024 in Phoenix.  More information here: Inspiring Creativity in Mentoring Symposium - Free Arts (freeartsaz.org)   More about Free Arts: Free Arts for Abused Children of Arizona is a nonprofit organization that uses the power of the arts to help children who have experienced the trauma of abuse, neglect, and homelessness. Free Arts’ research-based program model, Art + Mentors = Resilience, helps children build the resilience they need to overcome trauma by connecting them with caring adults and creative activities that develop their skills and sense of self. Free Arts believes that healthy connections with adults create change. Through partnerships with local child welfare agencies, Free Arts is able to provide this intervention to children free of cost to program participants.
