The Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental, and Intellectual Disabilities (DBHDID) is excited to announce the launch of the 2026 Kentucky Gallery of Youth Voices campaign!
The Kentucky Gallery of Youth Voices is a public awareness initiative that gives children and youth living with mental health and/or substance use challenges an opportunity to share their stories of hope and healing through art. This initiative is sponsored by DBHDID with support from the Regional Interagency Councils (RIACs).
This year’s theme — Art Through the Heart: More than an expression, it’s a path to wellness — celebrates the power of creativity in promoting mental health and well-being.
