Launched in 2001 to serve the families and survivors of 9/11, Hope, Love & Courage began as a “Band-Aid for healing.” Over the years, it has grown into a lifeline for thousands of survivors, caregivers, and responders coping with the emotional effects of disaster and trauma.
Through art therapy, storytelling, and shared community experiences, the program helps participants process grief, build resilience, and rediscover connection.
Today, Hope, Love & Courage extends its reach to families displaced by the war in Ukraine, offering them a safe, creative space to heal together. Each workshop nurtures emotional strength, belonging, and hope—reminding every participant that recovery begins with compassion.
