How Creative Works Studio Helps

Rita Lazakis is one of the many people who has benefited from the programs and environment provided by Creative Works Studio. In an essay about her experience she wrote:

For me the Studio is my everything! It’s a refuge from my loneliness and motivates me to express my feelings through my paintings. All the members work as a team. We support and help each other”

You many also realize that the arts can play a part in healing those wounds, providing individuals who struggle with these disabilities hope, purpose and identity.
