Welcome to the Art Works Mental Health Summit! We have been looking forward to this day for quite some time now. I've been wanting to do something like this for our young people after realizing earlier this year how much mental health is being neglected in a lot of our youth. And there are so many different contributing factors. We are excited about this summit! Our young people need to know that we love them, and that their lives and mental health matter. Our community has really come together to offer support by rallying around our young people through this event to create awareness and .begin to break the stigma around mental health.
NOVEMBER 2021
Our young people are dealing with so much and many of them are hurting. We have to show them that it's okay to not to be okay. It's okay to need help. And as a community, it's our responsibility to get them the help and resources they need. As a club with a community focus, we are doing our part to offer hope to the youth and families that come through our door. It is my hope that this event will be the first of many community resources to help sow seeds of hope into our youth and community.
