Democratic Republic of the Congo: Land of Promise - Resplendent Hope Art Therapy for Trauma Victims

Description

Democratic of the Congo: Land of Promise video explains how Resplendent Hope sponsored a three-day art therapy training for the leaders of Africa New Day in Goma, DRC. Narrated by Camille Ntoto, the founder and executive director of Africa New Day, the video also features therapist, Elise Froistad, as she explains how art therapy can help heal brain trauma. Elise and her team were trained by the First Aid Arts program. Through drawing, painting, stretching, deep breathing, dancing and drumming, these creative exercises can help heal the brain from the devastating effects of trauma. This video was produced through a media partnership with the Congo Reform Association. Our mission is to inspire social action through story, film, and social media to end the Congo Conflict and create a self-sustaining, thriving Congo.
