Healing through art: "Twice a month teens and adults meet at The Women's Center in Carbondale for a unique form of art therapy called 'The Art of Survival: Women, Healing and the Arts.' The program is the only one of its type in Illinois and it has highlighted the work of about 25 people since it started in 2004.
'We let each individual decide what they want to do in their art. Through the artwork and various steps, an individual is able to reconnect with their feelings that they may not be aware of,' volunteer program manager Elka Kazmierczak said."
