“Mental Health”: Edition 2
“Before we lost my brother to his mental illness, the most powerful tool he had was his sketch pad. Art brought him calmness that often the health care professionals could not. It is important to remember that not all illness can be seen. Connecting to one another illuminates what is unseen. Connecting through creative endeavors provides better mental health for all of us.”
—Gregg Potter, CEO, Project Kinect
