In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, BHSN is proud to announce a series of events and activities throughout the month of May that highlight the intersection of art and mental health. The events are designed to promote mental well-being, encourage communication, and provide resources to support emotional and psychological health within our community.
“Art is more than creativity; it’s a language of emotion. For those who create, it’s a way to process and express what words often can’t capture. For those who engage with it, it’s a reminder that we are not alone in how we feel.” said Katherine Cook, CEO at BHSN. “ Art connects us — and in that connection, we find community, empathy, and healing. During Mental Health Awareness Month, we celebrate the artists, the art, and the shared human experience that brings us together.”
