SMALL VICTORIES FOUNDATION

Description

In 2014, Small Victories Foundation launched a local central Texas effort to promote physical and emotional healing for adult survivors of traumatic brain injury by connecting them with arts experiences through professional instruction and performance/sharing opportunities.

Why artistic expression? Because it helps. Research demonstrates that learning and appreciating music and varieties of art helps form new pathways in the brain. These new pathways have effects far beyond the task at hand, and have positive impact on our lives in whole. We believe that this act of creation uplifts the soul, and facilitates a peaceful mind.

Small Victories Foundation has formed a network of art and music professionals in central Texas who are committed to helping adults with TBI learn, regardless of their physical or cognitive challenges. Our clients and their families choose what they would like to explore. We then provide funding for and connection to professional instruction for our clients to learn to play instruments, write, dance, sculpt, paint, weave, form, build-create works that they, their families, and their communities can appreciate.
