          AWBW builds capacity at partnering organizations through training their staff to facilitate our trauma-informed art workshops, as well as continuing to support them as they implement the Windows Program with those who have experienced various forms of trauma. Through this unique model, we have developed a nationwide network of 450+ active Windows Facilitators, allowing us to reach tens of thousands of survivors each year.

Embracing the Journey

Posted 12/22/2022 by admin

This workshop was completed in a small group setting made up of teen parents who are continuing to attend high school. Most of these young women have experienced trauma throughout their childhoods and are now learning how to break the cycle in their own parenting.

Journey Footprints was a beautiful opportunity for the teens to reflect on their pasts and the events that have shaped who they are today. They were then able to think about the paths they want to create for their futures, not only as parents, but as individuals.

Some of the teens used images and colors to reflect their journey while others chose words and phrases. They were able to connect with each other even more based on their similar life experiences and their similar goals for the future. It was a wonderful workshop!
