In this show, Green shares her personal journey of healing through the powerful use of expressive arts.

Her story touches on abuse, medications, self injury, shock treatments, suicide attempts, and demonstrates tangible action to recovery.

Green says her vision is a world where people no longer face barriers to good mental health.

“Everyone has a story,” she said. “It is not easy to share our deepest pains, shames, and overwhelming experiences. I highly recommend finding someone with whom you feel safe, comfortable, and a good listener. I have been blessed to have had one such therapist. By telling my personal story and my journey of healing, I may give hope to people suffering from illness and may encourage them to begin their own healing journey. I also want to encourage the mental health professionals to look beyond the "labels" and see their patients as human beings in need of compassion, and non-judgment.”

Proceeds will support the on-going development of The Mount Community Centre. Purchases may be made by cash or cheque only.

The sale will run June 10 from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. June 11 from 12 p.m. – 5 p.m. and June 12 from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m.
