More than half a million of Canada’s frontline mental healthcare “workers” are less than twelve years old. They’re called COPMI – Children Of a Parent with Mental Illness – and there are 575,000 of them in Canada
I Am Still Your Child, looks at the challenges of the growing number of young children who live with parents who suffer from psychiatric disorders.
Such children often must take on caregiving responsibilities beyond their capacities and suffer from feelings of guilt, anger and anxiety. They might blame themselves for what is happening at home, or feel shame or embarrassment because of the stigma attached to mental illness.

TONIGHT!! We Are @TheMindfulArtivists (2018) LOVE x Ohara Hale Poster installation Lancement : 26 SEPT, 16 H, Rialto Hall
For the fifth year in a row, POP Montreal called on the inspiring youth of Love - Québec to create an original artwork for the festival in collaboration with some of their favourite local artists. This year, they invited multidisciplinary artist, author, and musician Ohara Hale to participate, teaming up with nine youths, aged 13–20: Marcelle Aubin Messier, Skye, Iman Ahmed, Satteva, Chris, Alice Costello, Maude L-M, Bryanna Do Couto, and Kamara Izzard.
Together they created a collaborative series of 40 posters covering topics like gender equality, ageism, the environment, self-love, mental health, body positivity, and animal rights. Their large-scale installation will be unveiled on the opening night of POP Montreal at Rialto Hall with a presentation by the participants, and will remain on display for the duration of the festival, before being moved to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in early 2019.

"Trudeau noted that LGBTQ youth are still more likely to be homeless or have suicidal thoughts, despite the progress that has been made towards equality. 'We need to talk about acceptance, we need to talk about openness, we need to talk about friendship, we need to talk about love – not just tolerance,' he said to cheers."
