Support the Freedom of the Press – The Fight Goes On

Awakenings Art

Chicago, IL, United States

Awakenings provides free, trauma-informed artmaking programs that support survivors of sexual violence in their healing journeys. Unlike crisis-oriented or clinical services, Awakenings fills a critical gap by providing long-term, non-clinical healing opportunities. Survivors have unlimited access, recognizing that recovery is not linear, and are equipped with creative coping tools they can use beyond the studio.
