Donate to ATOC

At the heart of ATOC’s mission is the desire to help improve the quality of life for people who have experienced severe trauma. Our small art therapy groups, run by highly-trained, licensed, clinical art therapists, provide a non-threatening therapeutic experience for participants. Ultimately, ATOC clients will see themselves as survivors of trauma rather than victims, and build the confidence necessary to re-engage in their communities and move on with their lives.

Your support enables ATOC to continue providing art therapy at no cost to underserved populations.
