Share Hope through Art

Mission: To share hope through art by doing art workshops and sharing art created, as well as resource information (suicide prevention material and local resources) with local mental/ behavioral health treatment centers, wellness centers, etc. in Maryland in hopes of increasing mental health awareness, decreasing the stigma around mental and behavioral health struggles, breaking the isolation associated to feeling alone in one’s struggles, and ultimately prevent suicides.

Memorial Keepsakes

Memorial Keepsakes started in 2014 with a button with a man's face and words "a beautiful soul will never be forgotten" which was requested by individual's significant other. Since February 2021, buttons, bookmarks, and cards for loss have been shared. There is no cost, but donations accepted to continue. To Share Hope through Art during times of grief is very important because loss is very difficult. Personally, my mental health was negatively affected by loss in my own personal life so an outreach that is very important to me personally.
