Creating helps Recovery
Art therapy and therapeutic art programs help people recover from mental illness and to maintain mental health when stress, exhaustion, and other factors otherwise wear folks down. Mosaic's six psychiatric rehabilitation programs (PRPs) provide art supplies and instruction for clients who consider art a therapeutic tool.

Mosaic's Create for Recovery campaign is a dynamic opportunity to raise support for art programs. For more information, visit  www.createforrecovery.org. 

Create for Recovery is excited to have new artists from  Recovery Art Studio and  experiment100b participate this year.


Jessica's Recovery
My mother was a prostitute. Actually, she was a drug addict who prostituted herself to pay for drugs. I was born three days before her fifteenth birthday. My mom used to leave me at a dive bar in east Baltimore while she turned tricks. Sometimes she'd leave me for days at a time.

The owners of the bar bought me diapers and food. I spent so much time there that they started raising me then legally adopted me when I was six.

I had learning delays and ADHD as an child. My first significant mental health challenge occurred after I had my second baby. I suffered post-partum psychosis and was admitted to Sheppard Pratt hospital. I was readmitted later because I wasn't taking my medication. The second time I had 15 rounds of electroshock therapy.

Make Your Voices Heard!

Tell state legislators not to shut the door on Marylanders who use mental health and substance use disorder services. Tell them no more cuts to the behavioral health budget. We must 
keep the door open  for those who need help.

Helping with Recovery
"A lot of our clients struggle with trust. It's hard to not be trusted, but I do my best to do what I say I'm going to do, so eventually folks start to trust me. " explains Allie Pavoncello.

Allie, a service coordinator in Mosaic's Residential Rehabilitation Program, helps coordinate appointments, housing, and goal setting for clients in Mosaic's Catonsville programs. "Everyone has those days when they're highly motivated to improve," she says. "I try to capture that motivation before it disappears."

Allie's steady encouragement and support has not gone unnoticed. She won Mosaic's Bobby Bateman Memorial Merit Award, which is awarded annually to one staff member who's involved with client care on a day-to-day basis. Allie is currently pursuing a degree in nursing at CCBC; she is on target to becoming a registered nurse in early 2018.

The Bobby Bateman Memorial Merit Award is an annual award created to commemorate Bobby Bateman and recognize Mosaic's outstanding staff members. It is made possible by the generosity of Bobby's family. For more information on creating an award or endowment, contact Christiane Walker at gifts@mosaicinc.org or 410-453-9553 x 1151.
Mosaic is delighted to partner with other creative endeavors in Central Maryland, including the New Day Campaign, which  creates and curates art-based public events and experiences to challenge stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness and substance use. 

Art with a Heart worked with clients and staff in Mosaic's Baltimore location to design and create  a beautiful mural that will soon hang in the waiting room. Please make sure to check it out the next time you are on Charles Street.
Mosaic's Vocational Services Program is looking to partner with businesses in need of skilled and qualified candidates.

Employment is a key factor in recovery.

The Vocational Services Program provides intensive on-site job coaching to clients, minimizing the time and expense related to training new hires. Once someone is trained and adjusted to the new job, program staff continue to meet with the employee and their employer, on-site, to ensure the continued success of everyone involved.
