Share Hope through Healing Arts LLC is the umbrella organization of individual, couple's, family therapy (currently by Judith Viers, LCSW-C), workshops at new art studio or in the community, writing books, creating media to share hope, giving cards away to Share Hope through Art, doing community outreaches including giving art away at the Out of the Darkness Walk in Carroll County in September 2026 and Hope Starts Here by Springboard in October 2026 with all outreaches as an effort to build community and personal resiliency to help prevent suicides.
Individual, family, couples therapy, mental health workshops are now taking place at Share Hope & Healing Art Studio at The Bridge Healing Center at The Townmall of Westminster in MD!
The founder wanted to turn suicide prevention, her passion, into a career. Judith Viers, LCSW-C is a Licensed Certified Social Worker – Clinical, MSW, and is a mental health therapist, specializing in depression and loss who can include creating memorial keepsakes to help clients live their best lives possible and have peace within.
Judith is soon July 2026 launching workshops with Share Hope through Art and hoping to find more workshop leaders as funds become available.

NEW website!!!! The original website is Share Hope through Art (sharehopeart.blogspot.com).
Share Hope through Art is a grassroots suicide/ overdose prevention non-profit using art and community to help promote healing and hope. Check out our New Affirming Clothing Fundraiser!
Please view our first Community Meeting on Preventing Deaths of Despair on Facebook Live YouTube and professional camera footage continue the conversation by commenting, links to helpful information welcome!
The purpose of the Share Hope Through Art Fund is to share hope through art by doing art workshops and sharing art created, as well as resource information (suicide prevention material and local resources) with local mental/behavioral health treatment centers, wellness centers, etc. in Maryland in hopes of increasing mental health awareness, decreasing the stigma around mental and behavioral health struggles, breaking the isolation associated to feeling alone in one’s struggles and ultimately prevent all deaths of despair (suicides, overdoses). * Future financial donations as of (7/2026 there are no funds in the non-profit) will go to free giveaways. The non-profit status is helpful to offer students volunteer hours for doing card making AND helping at community outreach events. We are doing more with Share Hope through Healing Arts LLC on buying for the art studio and future fundraising efforts where taxes are paid after trying non-profit for 5 years and realizing it is easier to do for free and have career as a mental health therapist. A long-term goal is to have others lead workshops, but that may be done through The Bridge Healing Center navigating logistics with charging and paying faciliators.

Fundraising Book
Crap Happens Philosophy Introducing the Psychology & Sociology of Crap is a fundraising book for Share Hope through Art and may be used in future workshops, book discussion groups, and potentially a course. The purpose of this book is to help people come to terms with their struggles, so they can start overcoming them. The goal is to reach zero deaths due to despair, and to just start the conversation about mental health. We need to talk about it to end it. Crap Happens Website. Facebook. Order Book Here.
