First Aid Arts

We equip care providers with trauma-informed arts-based tools and training. We serve survivors of abuse, violence and disaster.

[First Aid Arts @FirstAidArts]

Come learn how to respond to the #stress in your life and in your community with skill, intention and #creative fun!
Just like you can be trained in first aid for the body, we will equip you with #firstaid training for your mental and #emotionalhealth.

Remember that rhythmic, repetitive activities like coloring, or dancing, aren't just fun. These arts-based, physical prompts are in our toolkit because they help us #regulate the nervous system, ward of #toxicstress, and connect with self and others.

[First Aid Arts @FirstAidArts]

This holiday season, we want to encourage you to care for yourself as you care for others. As you attune to your own needs, you give other people permission to do the same, and hopefully it gives you the ability to be more present when you do come back to spend time in community.

[First Aid Arts @FirstAidArts]

There needs to be #art! It is not an extracurricular—it's something we use to communicate, express, understand & connect. Doing art helps us reconnect brain & body, regulating the nervous system, bringing the ability to create back online, & making a pathway for new possibilities
