“My Feelings Are a Work of Art”

These pieces were created by children and youth in Oklahoma and Comanche counties as part of the “My Feelings Are a Work of Art” project to celebrate National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day on May 9, 2012.

Oklahoma Systems of Care is a comprehensive spectrum of mental health and other support services that help meet the needs of children, adolescents and their families with a serious emotional disturbance. It accomplishes this by providing community based, family driven, youth guided, and culturally competent services statewide.
