2023 HOA Campaign Closed
Thank you for your support and generous donations. This project could not have been possible without your help!
Heart of Art Overview
Recovery Canvas is dedicated to promoting mental wellness through the healing power of visual arts and creativity. Our work is specifically targeted toward adolescents, who are more vulnerable to mental health struggle.
North York General Hospital, located in Toronto, Canada, provides extensive, in-patient health care for youth going through mental health challenges. However, these stays are often incredibly difficult. Young patients may have reduced contact with loved ones, will have their everyday lives disrupted and must cope with the sudden changes and burdens of illness.
As part of our work, we are raising money for art care packages that will be given to in-patient children and youth at North York General Hospital's pediatric clinic. The packages will serve as a form of catharsis and a creative outlet as they go through recovery.
​
We would be incredibly appreciative if you could contribute a donation to help Recovery Canvas raise funds for art care packages.
