In life there are times we need to "let go" with love in order to "hold on" to life. Jodee's poem and drawing were inspired at the Arts & Healing Resiliency Center's January 7, 2024 workshop, "Letting Go & Holding On for Hope, Healing, & Resilience in the New Year." This workshop is part of the Hold On Campaign for Suicide Prevention's expressive arts outreach to connect, express, and heal. The animation "Let Go" is by the very talented and compassionate media designer Lucia Martinez Rojas. For more information on the Hold On Campaign's services including presentations, workshops, mentoring, and internationally award winning songs and short films, please see www.holdoncampaign.org.
