The Emerging Into Light image is the original artwork of Jennifer Osborn, a consumer and young woman of considerable artistic talent. She returned to work after a period of recurrent illness. Jennifer created this image for the CMHA, as a donation, because she wanted to share her story through art. Jennifer worked closely with the CMHA's design firm to create an image that would be distinct, simple and convey the dignity of our ongoing battle against mental illness.

The symbol says our struggle is important, far from over and needs to be publicly recognized. By endorsing a common symbol, we can help build public awareness about the importance of mental illness and mental health issues.

Making the symbol larger than any one organization helps emphasize the importance of the issue. The classic example is the red ribbon for AIDS. The symbol is universal and not owned by any organization. In just 10 years it has gained worldwide recognition and acceptance. By adopting the Emerging Into Light symbol, we are bringing mental illness out of the dark ages and into our community. We are no longer hiding.
