Through workshops, support groups and our experiences with the people we serve as a whole, we at ASC have learned the important and dynamic role we play in the lives of our clients. Many of our programs offer them a creative and expressive outlet that isn't always available elsewhere in their lives.

ASC is proud to have collected and committed to print, canvas and video some of the thoughts and experiences of our clients and peers. Whether these experiences are expressed in the form of ASC's Mural Project (which now takes shape in the form of a holiday card), or in our Heroes photo/testimonial project, or in the documentary video, My Life in Verse, which chronicles ASC's Creative Writing Workshop, the message is always sincere, captivating and complex. Nothing better expresses what we do at ASC than the words and expressions of those we serve.
