A HEAL student intern recently used her “Stop the Bleed” training to help save her neighbors life after he was a victim of gun violence. The HEAL student learned to use a tourniquet and why it was important. When the HEAL intern was in the position to help her neighbor who was shot in the arm, she placed the belt just below the shoulder.

Attitudinal Healing Connection
West Oakland Legacy Project
Distribution of Art Kits in FY 2020-2021 allowed students to have a hands on, interactive experience creating art. Students embrace the joy of finding and expressing their creativity and bringing paper, clay and canvas to life with color. Participants’ art was put on display at the Annual Exhibition which showcases student work from each site. The program created an inspirational spring of hope for students in the midst of the COVID-19 desert.
