“[PSA] Art Awakenings is a place of faith, hope, art, laughter, friends and acceptance; it has changed my life. Being around other clients who are SMI [seriously mentally ill] has helped me learn about myself. The staff also have taken the patience, understanding, experiences and knowledge in helping me deal with my past difficult issues. Art Awakenings has opened the door for me to help realize that I’m good at something, being artistic; I am not just a diagnosis.” Artist Stephanie
