The Wood County Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health Services Board (WCADAMHS) will be hosting a Behavioral Health Art Show on May 24 from 11-3 p.m. at the Wood County Museum, 13660 County Home Road, to highlight physical artwork, poetry, and music performed by individuals living with mental illness and/or substance use disorder.
Until April 26, any individual living with these conditions can visit wcadamh.org/events to submit a request to be part of this event. Acceptable mediums include physical artwork of any kind, written works, or requests to be a live musician. All submissions should follow an umbrella “Recovery” theme, specifically topics such as the early onset of symptoms/before diagnosis, personal experience with mental health or substance use disorder, or recovery/hopefulness. If necessary, pick up and drop off of pieces will be coordinated.
WCADAMHS will also accept digital submissions for display if applicants do not wish to provide the physical piece.
The role of the WCADAMHS Board is to plan, fund and monitor services for people with serious and persistent mental illness and alcohol and other drug addictions throughout the county. Some services are provided, without cost, while others have a fee based on ability to pay.
