Led by a multi-disciplinary team of experts, PPA’s new Arts & Healing program serves individuals completing their sentences at the Transition Center of St. Louis (TCSTL), a community reentry facility in North City operated by the Missouri Department of Corrections. Program components include 9 weeks of visual arts, writing, and theatre workshops, a culminating public performance, and will soon include referrals for voluntary mental health counseling onsite. The program utilizes process art modalities that allow participants self-paced, hands-on learning opportunities in their pursuit of self-awareness and healing. It is designed to help participants work through the traumas associated with incarceration while building resilience, self-confidence, and creative skills as a healthy response to the stress of re-entry.
