Youth Voices: What Safety Feels Like Through Their Eyes — PACT Since 2021, we’ve hosted a summer youth internship program that brings together passionate high school and college-bound students.

#Art has long been a tool for healing.

During #NationalYouthArt onth, we recognize the power of #creativeexpression in trauma-informed spaces.

When youth are given control over their #stories, they reclaim their agency and their #personalnarrative.

Personal Healing Tips for Overcoming Grief That Truly Work Grief isn’t something you “get over.” It’s something you learn to live with, reshape, and eventually rise from. In the early days after the loss, everything can feel heavy and disorienting—sleep break...

What?! No, stay! I need the numbers!

Don't know what to make of this...

My (so far) lightly-read #Muppets piece seems to have been so provocative/incendiary that it caused a new fan of mine to spontaneously combust or just disappear into the aether.

Sometimes the script you write for yourself is the one that changes everything. It’s the story where you decide your pace, your growth, your comeback.

Uncanny Reflections Preparing for surgery, I bought four sets of button-up pajamas and found myself staring back at her reflection instead of my own.

The mythology of the Iris flower dates to Ancient Greece when the goddess Iris, who personified the rainbow (the Greek word for iris), acted as the link between heaven and earth The piece is a representation of this mythological goddess, painted in a way that reflects my cultural heritage. In Spanish, the word Arcoiris means rainbow. The young girl in the piece is Panchimalco, celebrating the flowers and palm festival. Panchimalco are descendants of Pipil Indians fleeing the Spanish takeover of San Salvador during the 16th century, into areas originally inhabited by Mayan and Nahuatl peoples. Panchimalco is known for its indigenous population and its festivities.
