▫️ I do not have an artistic bone in my entire body, but this was a great episode. I had the pleasure to chat with Matt Sandoval, the CEO of Free Arts for Abused Children of Arizona, who shares how art and mentorship work magic to build resilience in kids facing trauma.

▫️With humor and heart, Matt, an Arizona native shaped by his police officer father’s career and family challenges, dives into Free Arts’ mission to serve over 7,000 kids annually with trauma-informed programs, emphasizing the mantra “no mistakes in art.”

▫️From group mentoring to rigorous volunteer vetting, he explains how creative expression fosters safety and self-compassion, drawing parallels to the trauma experiences of veterans and first responders. Touching on systemic issues like poverty and his vision for statewide impact, Matt inspires with stories of hope and a call to join the movement.

PTSD is real - and so is recovery. Whether you're a veteran, active military, law enforcement officer, or someone who's lived through trauma, they deserve to know that healing is possible.

No one should feel like they have to suffer in silence.

And that's the goal!

This Memorial Day, I want to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. To their families, our veteran and first responder communities, and all who carry their memory, thank you for your strength and resilience. We remember those we’ve lost, hold space for the invisible scars many of us bear, and commit to supporting each other’s mental health with the same courage they showed. Mahalo nui for your service and sacrifice.

This Military Appreciation Month, and especially on Armed Forces Day, I want to recognize the courage, sacrifice, and strength of our service members, past and present, and also the silent warriors — those carrying the weight of trauma, PTSD, and unseen wounds.

Thank you for your service and your strength in facing every kind of battle. đź’™
