Digital Art Gallery
Visual self-expression through art can be an entry point in communicating our lived experience. Share what flourishing means to you or your experience of mental illness through art, a photo of what makes you smile, etc. This can be as literal or abstract as you’d like!
What is Flourishing?
To flourish is to feel good about a life in which you are functioning well. Dr. Corey Keyes' research identifies five factors that help you to flourish: playing, learning, connecting, interacting, and helping.
