A Jacksonville non-profit is working to break the stigma of mental health and on Saturday they unveiled a mural on the Bank of America wall in San Marco.
“We miss him, we wish he were here,” said Sheryl Johnson, founder of Hearts 4 Minds.“Alex started having struggles with depression and anxiety early on in high school,” said Sheryl.“We felt lost,"said Sheryl.
That’s when Sheryl started Hearts 4 Minds, a non-profit dedicated to spreading mental health awareness and sharing resources to those struggling with mental illness.“It’s nice to brighten up the area but it’s not about the mural, it’s about the person taking the photo,” said artist David Nackashi. “It’s layers and layers of whites and yellows and just to build it up, so it does look like light.”
This is the 11th mural Hearts 4 Minds has created in Jacksonville and all of them have a dragonfly. It is a symbol of courage, strength, and change.
