End the silence, Erase the stigma, Embrace mental health

One in four adults experiences a mental health disorder in a given year.

Utilizing art as a tool to open and navigate the discussions surrounding mental illness has proven to be a successful life-changing experience for those involved. That is why we are so excited to introduce the With Love Campaign; a community initiative which includes

A collaborative art project,
School presentations and visits,
Artist talks,
And outreach into our local communities,

— Culminating in a gala and silent art auction event —

All to help to end the silence, erase the stigma surrounding mental illness, and raise funds for NAMI Coastal VA programs.
