Art Heals Arizona (formerly Free Arts) Resilience Council Meeting

Join us for Art Heals Arizona (formerly Free Arts) Resilience Council!

The Resilience Council is a collaborative advisory group made up of leaders in child welfare, youth‑serving organizations, and the arts. Together, we work to strengthen resilience in children and families who have experienced trauma.

This gathering brings together professionals who share a commitment to trauma‑informed, creativity-based healing.

The Resilience Council supports the mission of Art Heals Arizona by:

• Informing: Sharing current trends, research, and best practices from across the field
• Advising: Providing insight and recommendations on programs, curriculum, and training
• Connecting: Linking members to resources, partners, and opportunities in the community

Our meetings are designed to be engaging and energizing. Each session includes:

• Learning: Brief presentations and discussions on timely topics
• Networking: Opportunities to connect with leaders across multiple systems
• Art Making: Hands‑on creative activities that reflect our healing-centered approach

Lunch is provided for all attendees.

Come connect, collaborate, and contribute to a resilient, creative community supporting Arizona’s children, teens, and families.

Info: Arts programs that center safety and connection aren't just feel-good activities. They are evidence-based interventions that measurably strengthen children's internal resources for healing and resilience.

Info: Liz Hutchman, Art Heals Arizona Professional Artist Series Program Coordinator will provide an overview of the professional artist series programming and guide you through an expressive art activity.

Info: Bring resources and upcoming events to share, network and connect.
