The Armory Art Center began the Art of the Phoenix program in partnership with the Human Trafficking Coalition of Palm Beaches in September 2015 to help teens and young adults who are dealing with trauma from human trafficking. The program is expanding in 2019 to broadly include those who have experienced past trauma from any circumstance. The mission of the Art of the Phoenix program is to provide art classes and counseling techniques in a safe space that gives students who have experienced past trauma methods to face their feelings and challenges in healthy ways. Healing elements of the lesson plans include:

• Surrendering resentments
• Dealing with anger
• Building self esteem
• Forgiving others
• Loving self
