Mental Illness Awareness Week
In recognition of Mental Illness Awareness Week we are sharing with you a piece written by a very talented individual that we are fortunate to have in our circle The Art of Change Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time – Thomas Merton This first week in October is Mental Illness Awareness Week.
