Monday, May 22, 2017, saw a historic collaboration of South meets North! Peer Leaders and Community Partners from Miami-Dade County came together with Leaders in Broward County to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month.
Mental Health Awareness Month
Local artists showcased paintings and crafts with hopeful messages about recovery. A lively entertainer rapped about her recovery and the hope that her spiritual faith gives her. A poet read a series of poems she wrote about her experiences with mental illness with the message that recovery is possible for everyone. North and South met on the dance floor and celebrated together.
Film Premier
We enjoyed a film clip from the upcoming documentary, “A Letter to Niyyah”. It was a very moving presentation, followed by a discussion with the star of the film, Sharon Wise. Sharon is an award winning Peer Leader, Advocate and Artist.
We enjoyed food, networking, sharing, music, poetry and just celebrated the joy of living in Recovery.
