“The Creative & Artistic Programs department uses artistic expression, in all art forms, to educate, prevent, heal, empower and explore mental health and mental illness and its effects on every person.”

Are you a member of a military family? Are you looking for some extra support or to meet other military families? Do you have children of the military looking for support?

We have a variety of support programs for military families. Reach out to our Veterans' Team: Jenny Laney (x313) & Mary McParlane (x321) for any questions and a list of dates, times and groups!  (716)-886-1242

Writing & Well Being Group

For the last 15 years, a group of writers have met to create original works of art through creative writing. These adults, all mental health consumers, have  published 11 books of works that are available for sale online!

“Writing & Well-Being is a fun place to learn about the creative writing process and to work together with our peers. We meet new people and enjoy sharing our work individually and as a group.”
-Jamie May
