In this episode the term "healing arts" takes on several meanings. It can strengthen memories from the past, help build bridges of understanding, communicate messages of hope, and maybe most importantly, it can strengthen the social bonds that make our community a place worth living.

We'll visit Very Special Arts, a group whose mission is to provide educational opportunities in the arts for kids of all abilities.
