Programming will include seven-week immersive classes, workshops, and frequent performances in various art forms. These programs provide participants with an outlet for creative expression, skill development, and camaraderie in a supportive environment. ASAP's program model aims to significantly and sustainably improve veterans' social connectedness, resilience, and self-esteem through creative expression. Ultimately, veterans can develop a sense of belonging, learn new skills, and improve their well-being through the arts.
