SafeArt

SafeArt is an organization of trauma-informed practitioners who engage creative expression, mindfulness, movement, social action, and connection to the natural world. We promote community wellness, healing and social change in Central Vermont, the Upper Valley and beyond.

SafeArt envisions a world where the cycle of trauma has been broken, and where all people are free to create, express and connect.

We believe in the power of creative expression to grow resilience, foster re-connection, reimagine new ways forward and support the social change needed to interrupt the cycle of trauma. We facilitate healing and resilience on individual, family, community and societal levels because we understand the interconnection between trauma, abuse, oppression, and cultural and societal structures.

We define trauma as any held injury in body, mind, and soul, and know that most human beings hold some sort of trauma in need of healing. We have witnessed the power of art making in all disciplines, and trauma-informed training as beneficial for everyone.

We work with trauma survivors to engage with and transform traumatic injuries of all kinds.

We work with young people to inspire self-compassion, build healthy relationships, and grow resources.

We work with partners in the broader community to heal our shared trauma, develop self-care and collective-care practices, and become trauma-informed community members.

We engage visual arts, movement, writing, drama and music, as well as mindfulness, social action, and time spent in nature, because each of these modalities supports us to reconnect with our wholeness in unique ways.

We teach everyone we work with to understand trauma and the nervous system, because this knowledge nurtures compassion and empowers us all to better care for ourselves and each other.

All of our programming aims to be inclusive, trauma-informed and trauma-responsive.
