The City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program unites artists and communities through a collaborative process, rooted in the traditions of mural-making, to create art that transforms public spaces and individual lives. The Mural Arts Porch Light Program works closely with communities to uplift
public art as an expression of community resilience and a
vehicle of personal and community healing. We create murals that focus
specifically on mental health and substance use, as well as other issues that affect
our mental health including faith and spirituality, homelessness, trauma,
immigration, war and community safety and tensions.

The City of Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services has integrated its behavioral health care and intellectual disability services into one comprehensive system. DBHIDS components provide services through a network of agencies while collaborating with the Philadelphia School District, child welfare and judicial systems, and other stakeholders. DBHIDS embraces a vision of recovery, resilience, and self-determination. We continue to shift to a model of care directed by the person in recovery. In this model, professional treatment is one aspect among many that supports people in managing their own conditions while building their own recovery resources.

And during that time we have developed several valuable partnerships with social service providers. Now that we have added two evening meals and a Saturday lunch to the Breaking Bread line-up, the next stage of our growth in this work is to bring more providers into BSM’s space in an even more integrated and collaborative way.
