I hope that by sharing my own lived experience w/arts & mental health, I can not only shed light on my “why” in this work, but also engage others in considering their own.

I would like to dedicate this writing to my late father, Reynaldo Rodriguez, who taught me the importance of joy in our lives.❤️

@academyhealth.bsky.social #ARM25 allowed our Cohort 7 scholars (+HPRS alumni!) to reflect on the role of health services research in a quickly changing policy landscape.

A highlight: Dr. Keshia Pollack Porter’s plenary reminder: “We need you. We see you. The work you do matters.”

Art is good for our well-being. This connection between art & wellness is at the heart of what we do.

Visit a local gallery, explore public art, add art to your space,
or follow artists online. This #MentalHealthMonth, take a moment to let art do its quiet, powerful work.
