This is getting exciting!!

Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to Acts of Healing.

We are a brand new nonprofit in St. Louis, MO focused on working through trauma with theater.

The mission of Acts of Healing is to support youth who have experienced trauma, while they learn to allow, understand, and express emotion in a healthy and productive way through words, movement, and personal expression.

We will be working with youth 12-18 to create a play, musical, and an actor written production. Each built to build on each other in different ways to express and identify emotions.

We will be launching our website August 1, 2025 at midnight. We would love for you to learn more about us!! So give us a follow on Instagram ( ) or on Facebook at facebook.com/actsofhealing

We are very excited about starting this journey with all of you, and everyone that is yet to come. ❤️

Support isn’t platitudes, it is sitting with those that need support and lending them some of our strength.

Sometimes healing can look aggressive, but when it is guided and safe, it can let feelings out that have been keeping you down. So proud of this kiddo for letting things out and letting them go!

This is what we need to convey to others.

I do not know where this originated, and I honestly cut off the last sentence, which said, “Kids are not ready for social media. It starts with us parents.” I cut that off because no one is ready for social media. The same thing happens to adults. Forever, comedy has been laughing at short comings. It is an uncomfortable laughter, it is a laughter of relief that we are not the brunt, it is a laughter that we are not alone, but it is not a laughter of love or joy. Social media hurts. Hurt people hurt.

If your kiddos are on it, you need to be on it also. For their mental health.

Curiosity instead of anger. Behavior is an expression of something we don’t have the words for. Be a “Wonder” Woman or Man, help them find the language!
