Almost there -- just a few members shy of 1,000 on Facebook!

The Artists' Alliance for Mental Health (AAMH) Canada has been in existence for just less than a month, and already we've have some good success in spreading the word.  People have begun to organize Local Artists' Caucuses at the local level, which will bring together artists of various disciplines in a particular community to plan events and initiatives, and to input on what directions we should take at the national level to support all people living with mental health concerns (and our fellow artists in particular).  A few organizations have expressed interest in working with us in partnership.  And people all across Canada (and the USA) are becoming aware of this movement, which is being driven at the grassroots by those who believe in the transformative power of the arts in mental health.

So help us to reach our first, modest goal for AAMH Canada -- 1,000 members on our Facebook group.  We are very, very close ... and wouldn't that be a great Christmas present for our group?  If you're not already a member of the group, click here and join right now!

And if you have more questions about what we're doing, where we're going, and what's coming up soon, please email Greg Frankson, AAMH Canada National Director, at aamh.canada@gmail.com.
