Our mission is to increase, enhance, and empower through the provision of safe spaces, coordinated services, education, and art, fostering a community where multicultural individuals can thrive.
Vision Statement:
Dream Arts and Wellness Center envisions a world where safe spaces are abundant, enabling multicultural communities to access healing through supportive services, education, and the transformative power of art.
Understanding & Action
We recognize the psychological and social challenges faced by marginalized communities, leading to higher risks of self-destruction, victimization, and suicide. National data statistics indicate that LGBTQ-identified individuals often experience higher rates of mood and anxiety disorders than heterosexuals. Depression, rooted in discrimination and victimization from childhood, emphasizes the critical need for a safe space and effective resources to promote therapeutic health and wellness. Dream Arts and Wellness Center is dedicated to bridging these gaps, fostering resilience, and empowering individuals to create a brighter future.
