Did you know that NAMI had a hand in creating the beautiful new Racine County Behavioral Health building on Taylor Ave.?

This beautiful mural is at the main entrance and was painted by Julie Feiler, NAMI Racine County and Racine Friendship Clubhouse very own board member and artist...along with the energy and help from staff and art students from The Prairie School!

The iris is a symbol for mental health, representing;
-Hope in recovery
-Strength through challenges
-Growth and transformation
-Community support

💚🌷Like the iris, recovery is a journey of growth, resilience, and hope. Even after the hardest seasons, healing is possible. At NAMI Racine County, we believe every person deserves support, understanding, and the opportunity to thrive.

Thank you Racine County Health & Human Services for this collaboration. We are so grateful to have been a part of this project and can't wait to see the impact of this gorgeous facility.

You can check it out tomorrow, at the Open House. See you there! https://www.facebook.com/share/1CCXGg17rw/
