May, Mental Health Awareness Month, 2022

MVMC would like to thank all of you that worked so hard on making May, Mental Health Awareness Month a busy and wonderful experience for our mental health community. There are so many to thank and so many pictures!

We would like to start of thanking My Voice Media Center employees, facilitators, and peer support for continuing to educate, create resilience, and maintain a safe center for peers to communicate and express themselves in the Arts.

The installation, a peer-made committee made assignment was a success at Arts Consortium's F1rst Friday event on May 6th. Thank you to Pine Recovery in Visalia, CA for helping with some of the special supplies needed to construct this work of art. Thank you Phet for all of your hardwork in Photo and Video Editing for this event.

Committee: Sheila - President, Susan - Vice-President, Nelson - Secretary, Construction and Inspiration Crew - Micky, Anthony, Johnny, Joe

MVMC also hosted an open mic event that night at the Oval Park, where we are located. MVMc would like to thank Thomas and Ampelio for helping with the equipment and the sound for this event.

There were so many that made this event fantastic with performances from Pine Recovery, from staff, and from peers all over the county. Thank you for singing and performing your talents with us!
