Our mission is to financially support select accredited and licensed recovery high schools (grades 9-12) struggling with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders, through the Arts and Humanities. Research finds that both the presence of art, and art therapy, can have a positive impact on improving mental health. Through the creation of Digital Photography Studios, creative expression in photography will support recovery in finding a path to achieve clarity in self-identity, healing from trauma, increase self-esteem and support emotional development.   Donate To Beyond The Lens Project Follow Beyond The Lens Project on IG --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/martinisandbikinispod/support
