A Big thanks goes out to Deborah Lans for her thoughtful, supportive, and informative article on the Hudson Mental Health Treatment court. Our gallery and its instructors are in the process of offering therapeutic art classes for defendants who qualify and are interested in participating. This type of engagement not only serves to reduce recidivism within the criminal justice system but more importantly it provides a key to a better life for those that do participate and make positive steps in their recovery process.

Art gallery and mental health resource center
About us
The Mental Health Awareness and Creative Arts gallery’s first gallery space has a variety of artwork on display by those people in recovery from serious mental health problems and serves as recovery and support resource center for the public. This unique gallery space that blends artistic work with mental health awareness will serve to eliminate community bias and stigma related to mental health disorders. As many people know, stigma related to mental health diagnoses is a major barrier in seeking recovery-based solutions to mental health problems. Our artists will not only prove they are people worthy of positive attention, but they will also show others that recovery is achievable and that there is no shame in having a serious mental health diagnosis. At the Mental Health Awareness and Creative Arts Gallery, we will transform the hearts and minds of all towards a more Loving Supportive environment as it relates to those diagnosed with serious mental health disorders.

The following short film speaks on one’s personal fear of “coming out” as a transgender woman while they simultaneously struggle emotionally from the possibility of dying after contracting the coronavirus. This short film was a collaborative effort that I and two other peers put together. https://lnkd.in/eHy4PjCf

Elaina Pomak was kind enough to lend us a children's story book she created that delves into mental health struggles and support for public display. Her book is a model for New York State school systems that now mandate mental health education to be incorporated into their curriculum. Her book and matching character figurines are designed to promote mental health awareness, prevent mental health problems, and boost the overall wellness of young students.

The Mental Health Awareness and Creative Arts Gallery is hosting a multi-organization event on mental health and substance use disorders to expand public awareness and recovery options for individuals and family members affected by these issues. Local healthcare providers, support services, and others devoted to recovery endeavors will join us for this one-day event to share information about their programs that aid people in need of recovery services or support. This collaborative effort will provide a platform to address and exchange information to positively impact recovery initiatives throughout Columbia County New York. Care providers and support groups represented during the event will include Columbia County Mental Health Center, Columbia-Greene Addiction Coalition, Columbia Memorial Hospital Psychiatric Department, Twin County Recovery Services, the Mental Health Association of Columbia/Greene Counties, Tobacco Free-Action of Columbia and Greene Counties, NAMI of Columbia County, and more. All these groups will have their own table setup with representatives from each organization to provide information and answer questions about their programs. Representatives from each organization will briefly speak on their programs at 3 p.m. Artwork from the Mental Health Awareness and Creative Arts Gallery will serve as a visual backdrop for this collective effort to publicly address problems and solutions related to mental health and substance use disorders.
