AMI-Québec Allies in Mental Health helps families manage the effects of a loved one living with mental health challenges through support, education, guidance and advocacy. On October 9, AMI-Québec hosted a Well Nest communal painting event where carers and friends of the organization were welcomed to enjoy a fun evening of respite, food and drink, and create on a big canvas with friends old and new. 

 Known for their support groups, workshops and counselling offerings, AMI-Québec’s Executive Director Ella Amir shared that the organization continues to add more activities to support carers of all ages, such as writing, meditation and group walks. Events like the Well Nest aim to give people options on how to heal, receive respite and build community.
