Healing Centered Engagement in the Arts

In Unpacking Healing Centered Engagement in the Arts, Arts Ed Newark presents the concept of healing centered engagement and how it differs from trauma informed care. We begin with discussing Dr. Shawn Ginwright’s Flourish Agenda and the 5 CARMA principles of healing centered engagement. This is followed by a creative art strategy that practitioners can use as a guide to implement some of these principles into their own practice.

The workshop is appropriate for all those who work with or on behalf of youth (teachers, administrators, school leaders, etc.) Prior experience welcomed but not required. Healing Centered Engagement is a strengths-based approach that advances a holistic view of healing and re-centers culture and identity as a central feature in personal well-being.
