Recently, Dr. Roxanne Daleo was honored to win for her video art submission: The Way of the Leaf by The Massachusetts Coalition for Suicide Prevention (MCSP).  This coalition is on a mission to prevent suicide through statewide advocacy. Robin’s submission was in response to the MCSP’s call for artists, musicians, and writers to answer their question:

“What improves your mental health?”, using creative avenues for protective factors (such as mindfulness, exercise, presence in nature) that build up resilience to stress, promoting one’s hope, well-being, and social connectedness. The pandemic has challenged us for more than a year.

Here is the link to Roxanne’s video:
