A HUGE THANK YOU
to all of out mask-makers for their continuing work cutting, sewing, delivering and donating funds to help keep this project going. It's not over yet - keep it going! Look at all the healthcare workers that appreciate your work!
Our FREE COVID-19 Family Help Line is designed to enable the families of hospitalized COVID-19 patients to speak with a physician who can explain and simplify the information they are given by providers. We do not give medical advice,
but simply offer the support of experienced medical professionals.
The COVID-19 Family Help Line can be called 24/7. We can help you navigate the intricate treatment details and medical jargon, as well as help you prepare focused questions to ask the medical providers. Also, with permission from the family, we can join in on calls to your medical team to translate and explain - in plain language - after the call.

ONE. CREATING UNITY THROUGH ART is the HuProject’s new art initiative based on creating unity and oneness around the theme of the American flag. In an effort to unite instead of divide, The Human Element Project has decided to embark on a year-long non-political collaboration that asks individuals and communities throughout the United States to create their personal and heart-felt interpretation of the American flag.
Serving Time Workshop
The Human Element Project’s facilitated collaborative Painting workshops bring people together to explore new methods of COMMUNICATION, REFLECTION and HEALING through this creative process. Our workshops promote team building experiences and training that help build new networks, develop communication skills and celebrate a shared experience of creating unique works of art.
This year the Human Element Project is collaborated with several social service agencies to offer Expressive Art Workshops to their winter shelter and transitional residents. Each guest is given a canvas, chalk pastels, markers and a choice of hundreds of text strips
and asked to compose a visual story about themselves.

The use of the arts as rehabilitation for those that are incarcerated works towards a model of incarceration as a rehabilitative rather than punitive practice. Evidence has shown that arts programs within prisons are excellent outlets for self-expression and personal achievement as well as provide therapeutic and healing benefits.
Expressive Art Workshops offer inmates and opportunity to be seen as emotionally available and creative human beings capable of change and empathy despite their crimes.

The Human Element Project is an interactive and creative opportunity to develop thought-provoking art installations that make powerful social statements about the connection between art, science and the human experience. Our goal is to create an on-going dialog about difficult topics with under-served or marginalized communities by Transforming Life into Art with our organizations and participants.

The Syria civil war, now in its sixth year, is “a slaughterhouse, a complete meltdown of humanity. The war has killed hundreds of thousands of people and forced more than 11 million from their homes. In many cases, children caught up in this crisis have fared the worst, losing parents or friends to the violence, suffering physical and psychological trauma, or falling years behind in school.

PPE Portraits are face portraits that can be clipped on to healthcare provider's PPE (personal protective equipment). The PPE Portrait Project was designed to help patients feel connected to their caregivers, improve outcomes and help healthcare workers feel more like a team and less dehumanized. Our heartfelt gratitude to artist, Mary Beth Heffernan for developing this project while in Liberia during the Ebola outbreak and for inspiring & encouraging others to follow.
