Firebird Community Arts
Firebird Community Arts (FCA) uses the healing practices of glassblowing and ceramics to aid in the trauma recovery of participants impacted by individual or collective trauma, serving primarily youth between the ages of 6 and 24. FCA, in partnership with violence intervention organization Healing Hurt People-Chicago, has excelled at providing support for those facing acute trauma. Now, FCA is developing programs for participants in other phases of their lives -- those who have moved beyond their acute trauma but still need support, as well as younger individuals who may not yet be caught in a cycle of violence and can be mentored by older participants.
