The Art and Healing Workshops give participants an opportunity to express and share their strengths and their struggles through making art. This process helps create a supportive compassionate community to stand together to encourage each other and advocate for greater awareness of genital pain conditions.

Here’s a sample of artwork created by particpants in the Art & Healing Workshops! Want to see more great artwork? Go to Art and Healing Workshops to see more images.
