Did you know that April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month? Healing is possible at A Window Between Worlds!

Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) is an annual campaign to raise public awareness about sexual assault and educate communities and individuals on how to prevent sexual violence.

A Window Between Worlds (AWBW) is a national nonprofit using art to help transform trauma.

Since our founding in 1991, A Window Between Worlds’ arts programming has provided the creation of art as a tool for empowerment and healing to over 200,000 adults and children who have experienced violence and trauma.

We collaborate with human service agencies across the country, training and supporting the staff at these partner organizations in facilitating our healing arts curriculum. These workshops provide a unique “Window of Time” for participants — a safe, non-judgmental environment where they can authentically express themselves in new ways.

By providing an environment that promotes safety and healing, AWBW’s art workshops help survivors of trauma to communicate and connect, as well as develop a renewed sense of hope and possibility. This allows individuals, families and communities to process their experiences in order to move forward to less burdened and more productive living.

AWBW’s MISSION: A Window Between Worlds is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals and communities impacted by violence and trauma through a transformative healing arts program.

AWBW’s VISION: A Window Between Worlds views art as a catalyst to release trauma, build resilience and ignite social change. When individuals create art in a safe community they can be heard and respected — replacing violence and shame with safety and hope.

Artists, volunteers and sponsors always needed at A Window Between Worlds! To get involved, or for more info, visit AWBW.org.
