Seniors Combat Stress, Share that Relief through art at Victoria Residence

Parkwood Place promotes April as stress awareness month in Canada.

“The love of art is a common bond that we all enjoy,” Chalifour said. “Just by being surrounded and admiring the beautiful paintings and artistic masterpieces we just feel good, a boost of positive energy.”

During stress awareness month in April, residents share their stories and hope to inspire others to be creative, connected, and artistic.

Resident artist Jim Lewis says working alongside others helps his own mental health simply by sharing creative time and space together.
