Such a blessed initiative, Amber. This reminds me of project The Neon programme, which I came across when doing my research for my EOY storytelling workshop. In short, reading other warriors' stories strengthens our collective resilience and improves our mental health. You can look up The Neon programme, it's essentially a collection of survivorship stories in chronic and mental illness struggles. As I'm also active in the autoimmunity space, they've got the display of autoimmunity artwork (US main) online, which you can see at autoimmunity org catalogue.

I only read the ones that specifically stood out - there are many in there. Thinking of contacting them to see if they’d consider a piece from me - there’s an invitation to on there.
