Artfully Facing Trauma

Artfully Facing Trauma is a traveling exhibit of artwork created by veterans who participated in the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) art therapy directive of mask-making. This intervention allows individuals to use design and symbolism to express their inner experience of trauma as well as the face they intend to convey to the outside world.
