Inspire Art Center

Outreach

Introducing our newest outreach program...
 Alpha Home is a spiritually-based substance abuse treatment and support program for women and their families to help prepare them to become productive members of society. Alpha Home provides women with an affordable safe haven where they can identify and overcome the core issues underlying their chemical addictions, regain their independence, and rejoin their communities as healthy, whole women. Approximately 95 women rotate through Alpha Home every quarter. Many of the women have a history that includes emotional, physical or sexual abuse which often results in emotions of guilt and shame. Alpha Home is highly respected both locally and nationally, for treating chemically dependent women.
The purpose of the collaborative effort between Inspire Community Fine Art Center and Alpha Home is to offer therapeutic and educational art services that would provide a constructive outlet for emotions, help in developing unique talents and abilities, and provide an alternative method for coping with future difficulties. There would be 400 women participating in the program over a 1 year period. The program is provided at no charge to the participants.
