Picture by picture, story by story, let’s destigmatize substance use and mental health. In the past months, REACH engaged with over 20 of our East Vancouver neighbors - who had or have experience with substance use and mental health. Participants inspiringly shared their stories in a 6-session sequence where they learned to express their stories through photographs. They are now available to the community to view!

Our Photovoice exhibition was truly moving. We are so grateful to the community members who participated and contributed their unique stories of experiences with substance use and mental health. Thank you to everyone who joined us in the space, we loved sharing this experience with you!

We have compiled the photographs into a virtual gallery below. Take a look at the enlightening artwork and click and hover on the images to learn about the story and artist behind each photograph.
