Paint Love partners with youth-serving nonprofit organizations to engage youth through projects that are artist-led and specially formulated by trauma-informed standards. Our partners include but are not limited to: residential programs working with girls who have been removed from sex trafficking, children fleeing domestic violence, counseling and advocacy centers for children who face trauma or grief, homeless and emergency shelters, after school programs for new immigrants and refugees, community centers and neighborhood groups in underserved communities, and more. Success looks different for each of our partners. Impact looks like consistency at some sites, like Jesse’s House and Wellspring Living, where we work with teen girls who haven’t had a lot of stability in their lives. We’ve integrated new waves of thinking about trauma into our programming and look at each project under the lens of what steps their brains and bodies need to go through in order to feel safe and relaxed enough to create and fully engage
