Pup Support, an RSO focusing on mental health advocacy through creative outlets. We are in search of UW talent, to showcase their work at our event on May 19th at the HUB Lyceum. If you or someone you know is interested, please submit your work below. 

Pup Support has partnered with Grooving for Good, NAMI Seattle (The National Alliance on Mental Illness), and SPIN to help create an immersive, colorful experience that makes a safe space for us to explore our mental health, but more importantly, to amplify positivity and improve our mental wellbeing. 

Event Details: Thursday, May 19th, 2022 –> HUB Lyceum (3:00 PM – 8:00 PM)

The Dahlia Experience will be photographed and live-streamed to a national audience.

This is your chance to share your story, based on one of the four prompts (Hope, Resilience, Empowerment, Support! 

  • Hope: The belief that positive change is possible. What gives you hope? 
  • Resilience: the process of finding healthy ways to adapt and cope with adversity and distress. The ability to overcome. What allows you to be resilient? 
  • Empowerment: Becoming stronger, more confident – strength in your mental health journey. What gives you the power to be your own advocate? What gives you strength? 
  • Support: What does support of your mental well-being look like to you? Support can be family, friends, your school, treatment team, or your pet – what supports you?
