• Is there anyone among us who hasn’t witnessed a friend, a family member, a neighbor, or a business associate experiencing a mental health issue or episode? Depression, addiction, domestic violence, even self-harm?

  The power of music, art, and other creative expressions can improve the lives of those who have been separated from the social and familial support most take for granted.

  The StellaNova Foundation mission is to provide funding in support of responsible mental health care to those in our community in need of this relief.

• How can I help a loved one who is struggling? Be willing to listen and accept their feelings without judgment. Offer hope, encourage professional treatment, help them find resources, and take action to ensure their safety.  Reach out to The StellaNova Foundation for more information.  https://stellanovafoundation.org/
