Using the photovoice method, these thoughtful and expressive works offer both a sensitive and critical perspective on youth rights, while highlighting the strength, resilience, and unique paths to recovery shared by the participants.<\/p><p>This exhibition creates a space for authentic expression\u2014where young people can share their own visions of mental health recovery while raising awareness about the diverse experiences that shape it.<\/p><p>The photographs featured here reflect their personal stories and speak to their resilience, resistance, challenges, and hopes.<\/p><p>We invite you to explore the powerful stories and creative expressions captured in this web exhibition.\u00a0<\/p><p><em>Please note: some of the accompanying reflections are presented in French only.<\/em><\/p><ul><li>You can read the remarks written by one of the participants, which was presented on the day of the vernissage: <a href=\"https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Discours-exposition_AN.pdf\">Opening remarks<br \/><br \/><\/a><\/li><li>Also listen to episode 34 of the CREMIS podcast <em>Sur le vif<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/cremis.ca\/balados\/sur-le-vif?id=25543\"><em>Youth mental health recovery: rights, voices, and images<\/em><\/a><br \/><br \/><\/li><li>You can also read an article published in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ledevoir.com\/opinion\/idees\/910026\/sante-mentale-jeunes-si-espoir-etait-droit?\">Le Devoir<\/a> (in French)<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>And <a href=\"https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/RETABLISSEMENT-EN-SANTE-MENTALE-SELON-UNE-PERSPECTIVE-BASEE-SUR-LES-DROITS-DES-JEUNES.pdf\">our final report<\/a> (in French)\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86053a7 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"86053a7\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"a1\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a97be1 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7a97be1\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-673e3da e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"673e3da\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f06d726 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f06d726\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0649f56 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0649f56\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:200}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Nature of Connections<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99444bb elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"99444bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:400}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Recovery also means feeling like two selves: our past self and our self in progress are deeply connected, yet distinctly unique.

Yes, there is uncertainty\u2014but within that blur, there is also softness, space, and possibility. Every day we rise is a quiet victory.

All the people who passed through here ended up experiencing some form of melancholy. In the beginning, there was joy, strength, and courage. At times, I was filled with depth. Developing my life habits, learning to have a stable routine and education. This beginning and ending of the house bring back so many memories, both good and bad. Going left and right. Let\u2019s all go for a swim. Talking, shouting, letting go, all while remaining speechless. <br \/><br \/>The good dinners, the restful nights, the misadventures of the foster girls. The foster parents who sometimes had too much on their plate because they had so many to care for. Today, I thank them again for giving every second and minute to each child who passed through there. A beautiful coherence and understanding from all the workers who followed in that house. The patience, the skill, the coordination, and the quality moments spent there brought me a great release from some fears.<br \/><br \/>Thank you, Chambly, for being part of my life.

All the people who passed through here ended up experiencing some form of melancholy. In the beginning, there was joy, strength, and courage. At times, I was filled with depth. Developing my life habits, learning to have a stable routine and education. This beginning and ending of the house bring back so many memories, both good and bad. Going left and right. Let\u2019s all go for a swim. Talking, shouting, letting go, all while remaining speechless. <br \/><br \/>The good dinners, the restful nights, the misadventures of the foster girls. The foster parents who sometimes had too much on their plate because they had so many to care for. Today, I thank them again for giving every second and minute to each child who passed through there. A beautiful coherence and understanding from all the workers who followed in that house. The patience, the skill, the coordination, and the quality moments spent there brought me a great release from some fears.<br \/><br \/>Thank you, Chambly, for being part of my life.(translated from French)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-92a6dd1 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"92a6dd1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:600}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-53577-9\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/S.-photo-2-Faire-des-flammes-dans-une-cuisine.mp3?_=9\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/S.-photo-2-Faire-des-flammes-dans-une-cuisine.mp3\">https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/S.-photo-2-Faire-des-flammes-dans-une-cuisine.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62d6142 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"62d6142\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0a6433 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f0a6433\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:800}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"2281\" src=\"https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/S2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-53520\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/S2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/S2-158x300.jpg 158w, https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/S2-539x1024.jpg 539w, https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/S2-768x1460.jpg 768w, https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/S2-808x1536.jpg 808w, https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/S2-1077x2048.jpg 1077w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39831f5 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"39831f5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"s3\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5984d40 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5984d40\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aaceca5 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"aaceca5\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc66705 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"dc66705\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd82171 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cd82171\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:200}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Looking Through Different Glasses<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-574aaa0 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"574aaa0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:400}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">On a more joyful note, this photo was taken through my sunglasses.

Free and accessible services are essential. It shows how much we would gain as a society from giving more space to sex education and how welcoming and caring can make a difference. Being flexible when it&#8217;s realistic (e.g. accommodating people with no fixed address) is important. Including issues of sexual and gender diversity is an important consideration (e.g. in accommodation resources, but not just those resources either&#8230;). The use of technologies to reach young people can help (e.g. anonymous online chat, text messaging, social networks and, at the very least, email). <\/span><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">(translated from French)<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a58e41b e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a58e41b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db4bf51 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"db4bf51\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:800}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Y2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-53534\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Y2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Y2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Y2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Y2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b38f739 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"b38f739\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"y3\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e4aa5c e-con-full elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8e4aa5c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46c6d6f e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"46c6d6f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35515ff e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"35515ff\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e532e6 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0e532e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:200}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Untitled<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d422ea e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7d422ea\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78bf20d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"78bf20d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">This photo conveys the desire to one day have equal access for all. For example, there are very few racialised people using the alternative resource I go to regularly, which is questionable. Racialised people have a harder time accessing resources, including mental health resources, even when there are no discriminatory policies in place. They may lack information about these resources. In spite of everything, it is a really pleasant place to be, where you feel like part of a family, where the emphasis is on the autonomy of members, where you feel welcomed and cared for, where people are seen as experts in their own lives and where personal experience is valued. This resource is aimed at adults experiencing anxiety. Recently, there has been a special space for younger adults, where members have the opportunity to be peer helpers. Recently, there was a support group on the theme of self-compassion. This resource has also set up a non-binary toilet for people affected by this issue. <\/span><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">(translated from French).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1966a97 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1966a97\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ac914c elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1ac914c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:800}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Y3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-53536\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Y3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Y3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Y3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/smjaction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Y3-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a70590 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"6a70590\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"y4\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-11b3de2 e-con-full elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"11b3de2\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0cad96e e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0cad96e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c29d6e e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6c29d6e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58c6cf3 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"58c6cf3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:200}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Untitled<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-71cc8ad e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"71cc8ad\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d45744 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0d45744\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">This photo shows how hard it is to find the right resources when you&#8217;re neurodivergent. It also talks about how writing sometimes helps by writing a letter to yourself or writing what happens to you in a diary. Using non-verbal means of expression, such as dance or the visual arts is also important. A routine and organising one&#8217;s time can lighten the mind. Without forgetting the importance of outreach work, this photo reminds me of the use of free applications that help mental health.

Participants, young adults using mental health services from various community organizations in the northern part of Montreal Island, were invited to capture images that illustrate their experience of recovery in mental health. These photographs are accompanied by group discussions, guided by structured questions that explore their rights, recovery journeys, mental health experiences, and relationships with health professionals.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photovoice is a participatory action research method that uses photography to highlight lived experiences and address key issues for individuals and communities.
