UW RSO Pup Support – Live Art Event – Call for Work!

Pup Support has partnered with Grooving for Good, NAMI Seattle (The National Alliance on Mental Illness), and SPIN to help create an immersive, colorful experience that makes a safe space for us to explore our mental health, but more importantly, to amplify positivity and improve our mental wellbeing.

The Dahlia Experience will be photographed and live-streamed to a national audience.

This is your chance to share your story, based on one of the four prompts (Hope, Resilience, Empowerment, Support!

  • Hope: The belief that positive change is possible. What gives you hope?

  • Resilience: the process of finding healthy ways to adapt and cope with adversity and distress. The ability to overcome. What allows you to be resilient?

  • Empowerment: Becoming stronger, more confident – strength in your mental health journey. What gives you the power to be your own advocate? What gives you strength?

  • Support: What does support of your mental well-being look like to you? Support can be family, friends, your school, treatment team, or your pet – what supports you?
