On Sunday April 27th, the Front Range community will pack hundreds of Healing Art Kits for children living in Israel. The Healing Arts Kits, a project of Art Over Hate (a not-for-profit 501c3 organization established in 2009), are designed to slow or stop the onset of new cases of PTSD in children exposed to trauma. Each kit utilizes the latest research in art and movement therapy to stimulate self-healing mechanisms in children, as well as provide a positive distraction during the most critical time in the development of impact of a traumatic incident.

Each Healing Art Kit is $65. The cost of the kit covers all the materials, shipment to Israel and dissemination of the kits (at no charge) to organizations such as hospitals, mental health centers, schools, shelters, and religious institutions.

Coordinated by JEWISHcolorado’s Young Adult Division, Repair the World Colorado and Temple Sinai, our vision is to bring together the Jewish community from across the front range to build off the “Healing Arts Kits” campaign’s mission to “stop new cases of PTSD for children living through traumatic experiences.” Our event will include a service project of packing kits, as well as learning about mental health framed through Jewish values.
