Our Forensic EPEC Program participants recently created works of art! 🎨

A local artist led our workshop, encouraging patients to create beautiful henna designs on birch wood pieces, offering a fresh take on this ancient art form. 🌿

Chaplain Sam joined the workshop to add spiritual and mindful practices, making connections between art and inner peace. 🧘

💚 It is World Mental Health Day, and we are taking time to reflect, raise awareness and take action to support mental well-being in our communities. This year, we are sharing mental health stories from a range of perspectives to create more inclusive communities.

Meet Emanuel. We spoke with him a year ago and again recently. Living with schizophrenia, his journey from stigma to strength is truly inspiring. Today, he says: 'I am confident, secure and happy.'
