Why “Tapestry”

The “tapestry” metaphor: The word “tapestry” refers to a piece of cloth-textured artwork crafted by weaving different pieces of thread together to form an image to be appreciated as a whole.

Symbolically, each thread uniquely represents a person’s life and their stories. When we gather our stories, be it personal experiences, professional insights, or ongoing community conversations, we connect with people who identify with us. We dignify our experiences through those shared story threads.

Our tapestry of stories interweaves the personal and professional, presenting a more holistic idea of what mental health education is and what recovery looks like from textured, nuanced perspectives.
Tapestry is a picture of a recovery-oriented community; a community bound together by the common thread of hope.
