For the last 10 years, mental health advocates have gathered in downtown Buffalo raise the collective knowledge surrounding the need to improve the general mental health of the people in Buffalo.

You see them everywhere, in every part of the city and every neighborhood; Buffalo's Murals. With over 130 at last count and more going up all the time, they're hard to miss. There's a new mural going up in the Kensington neighborhood, on the side of the Horizon Health Services building on Bailey Avenue near Kensington. It's called "You Are Not Alone," and its focus is mental health. The timing is perfect because May is Mental Health Awareness month.
