Roots of Healing: A Nurturing Lives Healing Arts Program

Facilitating trauma-informed healing art workshops involves creating a safe, supportive environment where participants can express themselves through creative activities. The focus is on fostering emotional healing, building resilience, and promoting self-awareness without triggering past trauma.

Our facilitators guide individuals through art-making processes that allow for non-verbal expression, helping to process difficult emotions at their own pace.

The workshops emphasize choice, respect, and empowerment, ensuring each participant feels supported and respected in their healing journey.

Child Development Conference

Nurturing Lives had the honor of partnering with East Los Angeles College to host an impactful conference for child development students and professors. The event focused on trauma-informed practices, effective parenting strategies, and fostering resilience in children and families.

Through engaging workshops and interactive discussions, attendees gained valuable tools to enhance their personal growth and professional expertise in the child development field. The conference served as a powerful opportunity to inspire future educators and empower seasoned professionals to create compassionate, trauma-informed environments for the children and families they serve.

We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with East LA City College and look forward to continuing to support educators in their vital work.
