Murals don’t just bring color to neighborhoods — they tell our stories and help us heal. This week, Embracing the Light was unveiled at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children. The mural was created by Mural Arts Philly and led by our friend James Burns, alongside an incredible team of artists and community members.

The piece honors lives lost to su***de and uplifts messages of hope, resilience, and remembrance. MBKCares was grateful to be part of the steering process and community paint days, and to see the names of loved ones like Atif Hines and Devon Tyler included in this powerful work.

We’re proud to support efforts that bring awareness through art and community collaboration. Check out this CBS 3 segment from the dedication ceremony.

How it started (2022) vs how it's going (2025) 😳

Discovering Mental Wealth has come a long way and it's all because of YOU showing up for yourselves and each other. it's been an honor to support our community through arts, food and safety/wellness resources each year.

My Brother's Keeper Cares isn't just our name. It's our why. A reminder to show up the same way whether there are 20 people in attendance or 200.

Whether this was your first Discovering Mental Wealth or your fourth, we thank you for showing up. For us, for yourself and for this community.
