Summary: This report describes the results of a study by the Aboriginal Healing Foundation (AHF) in the use of creative arts in healing programs. The AHF was established in 1998 with a mandate to support the development of sustainable healing processes related to the legacy of Canada's residential school system. Part of this was accomplished through research and evaluation that revealed the significant contribution of cultural interventions to healing out of which the Creative Arts and Healing study grew.
