“As an Executive Director, I’ve witnessed firsthand the impact that AWBW has on our clients who’ve experienced domestic violence and homelessness, my staff, and our programs as a whole. Providing a Window of Time through creative expression gives survivors an opportunity to explore their emotions while building safety and trust with staff.
Art also allows us to better communicate our clients’ experiences, healing, and resilience to our community supporters. The programs at AWBW truly embody the spirit of Art Heals Trauma.”
Elizabeth Eastlund, former Executive Director of Rainbow Services, AWBW partner since 2005, San Pedro, California
