In light of the recent in events in Haiti, BuildaBridge is organizing arts relief to work with children who have experienced trauma due to the catastrophic earthquake in Port-au-Prince.  We are organizing our relief efforts in collaboration with international partners on the ground.  If you are an artist with relief experience or an art therapist, email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .  If you would like to support this effort financially please donate through our Haiti Arts Relief secure donation site.

 

Creative Arts Therapy is especially effective with children experiencing trauma from catastrophe.  Partnering at temporary medical sites, food distribution centers and shelters, both individual and group arts therapy experiences will not only help children cope and heal from trauma, but assist local workers in working with children who have lost parents and children, suffered violence, and struggle to find security and safety.
