Healing Quilt

In 2021, DSH patients and staff contributed to the statewide Healing Quilt to help the DSH community recover from a difficult year of grief and loss. The quilt, however, is not made of cloth. This video quilt showcases 8x8 photos of artwork by patients and employees at DSH-Atascadero, -Coalinga, -Metro, -Napa, -Patton and -Sacramento. The project was spearheaded by DSH's Statewide Trauma-Informed Care Project. Healing Quilt Video
