“Our time spent together, highlighted each individual's skills, and fostered closer friendships by dropping barriers. This process of collaborative creation allowed us to express and document our vision of healing and in doing so contributed to promoting and sustaining each individual's recovery. We invite all St. Joe’s staff, patients and visitors to explore their creation in the hope that those who view the mural will find faith, strength and vision in their own journey or recovery.”
The mural is located at the St. Joe’s West 5th Campus in the Harbour Spiritual Centre, block E, level 2.
