About Hearts of Growth

Hearts of Growth began from a little doodle I drew for myself when I was experiencing debilitating OCD intrusive thoughts back in early 2020 during lockdown and got to see what it's like to be in a very poor frame of mind. This little doodle of the heart giving strength to the brain gave me strength to carry on. Creating art and journaling became a healthy coping tool for my anxiety and understanding myself(as well the love from my support system). One day, I decided to share my doodles on Instagram and I saw how it brought connection and community to others too. This warmed my heart and it motivated me to keep sharing my art as a way to give back to community. I later became a Mental Health First Aider as I'm passionate about Mental Health and also understand the struggle with mental illness and I started to create resources as part of my recovery and healing journey as I struggled to find what I needed online so I wanted to share these with others too and am so happy so many have found them so helpful so far.
