Collective Healing through Art (CHTA) was created in 2021 by Confidence Omenai and Haley Sanner. The two met and instantly connected, they knew they wanted to create an intergenerational program that could help the BIPOC and LGBTQIA communities in Denver. With a grant from NextFifty Initiative, they were able to focus their efforts on developing a trauma-informed curriculum to unpack oppressive systems and help participants process their emotions to begin to heal.
