The Creative Compass: A Practical Guide to Healing Arts & Foster Care

Thursday, August 27
1 pm - 3 pm PDT
FREE Virtual event

We are honored to introduce our newest comprehensive resource: The Creative Compass: A Practical Guide to Healing Art & Foster Care. This toolkit is the result of a dedicated co-creation process alongside professionals working at the heart of the foster care sector—Windows Facilitators, administrators, and additional frontline experts. Together, we have developed a responsive resource designed to center the well-being of foster youth and support the entire ecosystem of care, including kinship families, resource parents, and the providers who walk alongside them.

While The Creative Compass was born from the specific needs of the foster care community, we believe these tools should be accessible to everyone. The principles within this toolkit are universal and designed to be adapted for any sector, offering a flexible foundation for trauma-informed healing in any setting.

What to Expect:

  • Toolkit Unveiling: First access to this comprehensive new resource, packed with 6 ready-to-use art workshops featuring printable worksheets, alongside guidance on expanding beyond worksheets with a variety of adaptable art supplies.

  • Hands-on Art Workshop Preview: Experience a workshop led by Windows Facilitator, Pat Conlon from Stepping Forward LA.

  • Expert Panel Discussion: Hear directly from Windows Facilitators, sector administrators, and voices with lived experience in the foster care system.

  • Practical Application: Learn how to adapt these creative tools to your specific setting to foster resilience and healing.

  • BONUS: Training Benefits Showcase: Discover the transformative power of our two-day Windows Facilitator training and learn how to bring healing art to your community. 3:00-3:30pm PDT.
