If you look at the idea of trauma and how many of our consumers have experienced trauma, and what using the arts as a way to share those experiences and express themselves is very powerful.
What if art could be a key player in the journey to recovery? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Jim Wallis, VP, and Kasey Harlin, MA CADC CCDP D, to explore how Preferred Family Healthcare is using creativity to transform lives.
Their program, Achieving Resiliency, Responsibility, and Recovery Through Creativity (A.R.T.C.), is all about harnessing the power of creative arts to support individuals and families dealing with substance abuse and mental illness. Jim and Kasey share the story behind the A.R.T.C. program, discussing its origins and how it has evolved to become a cornerstone of their treatment approach.
They delve into the various expressive therapies used, such as art and music, and explain how these creative outlets help participants articulate their experiences and emotions in ways words sometimes can't. The episode also tackles the broader issue of stigma surrounding addiction. By focusing on strengths and creativity, the A.R.T.C. program aims to shift perceptions and offer a more compassionate view of those in recovery.
Jim and Kasey highlight real-life success stories, showing how this innovative approach has made a tangible difference in the lives of many. If you're curious about how creative arts can play a role in healing, or if you're looking for fresh perspectives on recovery, this episode offers a wealth of insights. It's an inspiring conversation that underscores the importance of meeting people where they are and celebrating their unique paths to wellness.
