Arts for Life International, Inc.'s mission is to support people in crisis through the use of art and expressive therapies. We work with sandplay, painting, drawing, and 3-D sculpture to empower children and adults to gather insight, understand their inner and outer worlds, and to heal from trauma. We also develop resources that help young people learn about themselves and how violence has affected their lives.
