Healing TREE Silk Screenings + Workshops

Face It has provided funding for a limited number of Healing TREE Silk Screenings + Workshops. 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 engages high schoolers, college students and community members to have an open conversation about these important but often undiscussed topics. The workshop’s 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.

Here is a link to Healing TREE’s website’s Silk page which has details on the program, the trailer for the film and life-changing testimonials: www.healingtreenonprofit.org/silk
