BIOGRAPHY
About Us
Project Lifeline was born out of the emotional pain experienced by a young girl, my niece; who was facing bullying while also grieving the loss of her grandmother, my mother. During that time, my sister shared the challenges she encountered in trying to find the support her daughter needed.
In another conversation with a parent in my community, she opened up about her son’s experience with bullying at school. She described how deeply it affected him and the difficulty she faced in getting proper support. Ultimately, her son had to be removed from the school district in order to protect his well-being.
Hearing these stories deeply moved me. They revealed a clear need for greater support for young people and families navigating life’s challenges. It was in those moments that I felt compelled to take action, to create something that could offer hope, healing, and a sense of connection for those facing similar struggles.
What We Do…
Use the arts as a positive outlet to redirect challenging thoughts in the moment.
We show how to let the arts become a tool to gently shift negative thoughts into something creative and healing.
