Welcome to Arts Supports Recovery Series.

Recently after undergoing knee surgery a third degree structural lesion was discovered. I was advised that though the surgery would only reduce the amountof pain I experience. I was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia and arthritis. Being a person constantly on the go this was trying to say the least. I spent my time after surgery painting, reading, participating in aqua therapy and focusing on AGNJ. These activities along with faith, support of my family and friends keeps me focused.

When our friends, Joe Conlin and Kelsey Moss at Prevention Plus, spoke to me about potentially partnering, it was important to me that we reach women across the recovery spectrum. Kelsey Moss has her own story of recovery so this was close to their hearts as well and we came up with our Paint and Share Night.

Arts Supports Recovery will be a series of events from Painting, Poetry , Music and Film. It is our hope that art can support your recovery by providing you an outlet through creativity and self-care.

 

Warmly,
