My name is April and I have struggled with depression and body image issues for probably most of my life. It’s not an easy process to learn to love yourself no matter what you look like on the outside but everyday is a lesson and a chance to become more aware of the positivity in your life. I think mental health is such a huge important part of so many peoples lives and there needs to be more awareness.

My art that I create with beach glass provides a stress reliever and helps me relax and become less anxious about some of my everyday chores. Art has always been a positive vibe in my life and searching for beach glass is so much fun and rewarding at the same time!!

From now until Friday, May 10th, I'm showcasing my hidden talent in support of mental health!

CAMH One Brave Night is a chance to share a piece of myself with the world for a great cause. I am excited (and a bit nervous!) to express my passion and creativity, so we can inspire hope for the one in five Canadians who experience mental illness every year.

Please donate today and help me reach my fundraising goal.

Together we will break down stigma, fund innovative research, and provide access to new and promising treatments for people living with mental illness.
