Healing TREE - Silk Screening + Workshop
2023-01-01 - 2023-12-15
Healing TREE hosts workshops for high schoolers, college students and community members on the most insidious red flags of abuse and trauma, built around their short film Silk.

Healing TREE’s short film Silk, and accompanying workshop with guided discussion, illustrate, educate on and explore the most insidious forms of abuse and trauma. Silk stars mainstream talent, and was an Official Selection at an Academy Award Qualifying Film Festival. It engages high schoolers, college students and community members to have an open conversation about these important but often undiscussed topics. Pre and post engagement assessments ensure that folks walk away far better equipped to heal from the aftermath of what too many may have faced and to prevent themselves and others from being victimized by, or perpetrating, abusive situations in the future. These screenings and workshops have had incredibly positive results as evidenced by the pre and post surveys, showing a highly significant increase in understanding of the topic and a virtually equal number of survivor and perpetrator self-identification.
