EveryBody brings together individualized treatments with education and advocacy to create a cohesive prescription for healing individuals and communities.
Presented as part of Penn Avenue Creative, an accelerator program for emerging artists, entrepreneurs, social change leaders and visionaries.
Made possible with generous support from The Heinz Endowments.
