TN Voices, Tennessee’s leading mental health support services nonprofit, has partnered with Knoxville Art Emporium to recognize the 2022 Children’s Mental Health Acceptance Week. Unmasking Mental Health is an exhibition of theatrical masks images designed by Youth and Young adults in Tennessee to bring awareness and acceptance of mental health. TN Voices is hosting the event as a part of Children’s Mental Health Acceptance Week May 1-7, 2022, focusing on this year’s theme – Moving from Awareness to Acceptance in 2022. The purpose of this exhibit is to raise awareness about what is really going on behind the mask and to promote acceptance of mental health issues.
TN Voices speaks out as an active advocate for the emotional and behavioral well-being of Tennesseans by providing essential services, support, and advocating for policy change at the local, state, and federal level. We are deeply committed to assisting and supporting our fellow Tennesseans by reducing stigma and increasing acceptance.
