An upcoming art event by Northern Health called “Art Tracks: Come Walk With Me in My Shoes” promises to shed light on mental health issues. Set for launch next month, the exhibit seeks to foster dialogue and challenge the stigma faced by artists with mental health conditions.

Rowan Saunderson, the driving force behind “Art Tracks” and a member of the Terrace Mental Health Advisory Committee, noted that October is dedicated to mental health and addiction awareness so that Northern Health is partnering with local artists and the Garage Community Space on Kalum.
