Seeking Safety group
Art & Creativity
As part of our “Seeking Safety” group, mothers participated in a powerful exercise called the Dual Self Portrait, where they colored their faces to represent the different parts of themselves, often symbolizing the struggle between their past and the hope for a brighter future.
These portraits reflect the resilience, growth, and transformation of these women as they navigate recovery. Each piece is a personal expression of their path toward healing.
