Clara, the Ambassador for the camping #createopportunity of ShopGoodwill.com, aims to spread awareness about mental health issues with a special focus on how art can help heal. Clara firmly believes that it is no shame to talk about mental health problems and seek help when required. In fact, she herself had to face major complications after her surgery due to anxiety and panic attacks. That is why Clara is determined to promote the use of art as a tool for mental health healing.
The painting, named You Matter, serves as a visual representation of this message and encourages people to realize their self-worth. The happy and confident heart with a few wounds suggests that although a person may have faced challenges, they still hold immense value and should not let their experiences define them.
Overall, Clara advocates that everyone deserves to feel that they matter and that they should not hesitate to seek help when needed. Mental health challenges can be incredibly daunting, but one can flourish and thrive with the right support. The use of art as a healing tool can be an effective way to help individuals on their journey to recovery and give them hope for a better future.
You Matter is a happy and confident heart with some wounds that he needs still to heal. You Matter is a heart that loves to be around people, eat pizza and play volleyball.
