Giving A Voice

By empowering members to authentically tell their personal mental health story, we hope to illuminate shared experiences, foster connection within creative circles, and help normalize mental health for individuals living with a mental health condition, their families and the greater community.

 

   

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

 

-Maya Angelou
