Tanager Place “Cards with a Cause” offers a creative way to share messages of hope and love this upcoming holiday season, while supporting the Expressive Arts Therapy program at Tanager Place.  “Cards with a Cause” offers four beautiful card designs that were created by children in the Expressive Arts Therapy program. Greetings can be customized and are perfect for both personal and business use.

Expressive Arts Therapy has been offered at Tanager Place for more than 35 years, and provides insight into the struggles of emotionally troubled children. Alongside a trained therapist, children use visual arts, music, or creative writing to help communicate memories and conflicts too threatening to face directly.

Proceeds from the sale of these special holiday cards directly benefit the Expressive Arts program, which relies primarily on community support and outside donations.

Tanager Place’s mission is to serve children and families challenged by social and psychological needs, and provides an extensive array of innovative programs designed to help at-risk children with behavioral, emotional or psychiatric disorders. More than 4,000 children each year find healing through Tanager Place’s comprehensive outpatient Mental Health Clinic, inpatient, and community-based programs.
