Help Bridget raise money

Most of those close to me know that the past year has been a particularly hard one on my body and my brain. Plagued with chronic migraines and chronic diarrhea that's directly linked to my mental health issues, I've tried a lot of medication and meditation. My work with the Writing and Well-Being Workshop at the Mental Health Association has been a particularly helpful step in my recovery. The purpose of the W+WB Workshop is to use creative writing through poetry and prose as a helpful step in mental health recovery. The group is open to anyone with any mental health diagnosis. Through helping others and learning about group members and their coping mechanisms, I have learned new ways to help and challenge myself. In 2017 we held two poetry readings and published our 23rd poetry anthology. The dollars raised at the Buffalo Superhero Race are spent directly on our MHA programs, just like Writing and Well-Being, that help mental health consumers focus on achieving wellness.
