Our staff and mentors have largely been drawn to this work through personal and family experiences with mental health challenges. They are professionally trained photographers, artists, and visual storytellers who believe photography has the ability to transform lives and create positive connections and understanding.
Staff and mentors are committed to the overall well-being of our artists and serve in long-term supportive relationships with our artists as they explore how the tools of photography and self-expression are relevant in their individual lives.
