We dedicated Finding the Light Within this weekend, during National Suicide Prevention Week, at Horizon House, a place of refuge for those dealing with mental health, substance use, or homelessness issues.

“We all recognize that suicide happens, and that we won’t get anywhere if we keep the issue in the dark. If an art project inspires someone to seek help or connect with others, then that is a powerful outcome. Through the focus on suicide, we saw a commonality, and through the commonality there was comfort.”
