The Healing Arts Program encourages creativity, positive experiences and inclusive communities. Our HAPI artists face a variety of challenges including disability, illness, poverty, addiction and loneliness. HAPI classes allow all students to experience a sense of positive accomplishment, overcome isolation, build self-esteem, unlock hidden talents, build new skills and express themselves through a healthy outlet. The group settings of our classes allow students to form friendships and a greater sense of community. Last year over 1000 individuals participated in HAPI right here in Grande Prairie
