Facing adversity at home, in school, or on the streets, kids often have nowhere to turn-but a creative outlet can make a huge difference in their lives and transform their views of themselves and the world. This concise video follows at-risk children and adolescents as they take part in a community arts therapy program incorporating a wide range of expressive modalities. In the RAW Art Works teen group, participants create intriguing and emotionally powerful self-portraits, discuss their meanings, and share what the RAW program has helped them accomplish. Work on a group mural is also depicted. Meanwhile, younger workshop attendees are shown manipulating colorful dragon and dinosaur heads they've created.
