Are you a crisis center?
Awakenings is not a crisis center. We do not offer counseling, clinical services, or legal & medical advocacy. We work closely with crisis centers and therapists so that they feel confident sending their clients to our programming. We are strictly here to help survivors heal through art and to educate the public with that art.
