I am writing to recommend Dr. Chantal Rozmus, a dedicated Staff Psychiatrist at the Abbe Center for Community Mental Health, for
the City of Iowa City's Public Art Matching Grant. I have had the privilege of collaborating with Dr. Rozmus and her commitment to
both mental health advocacy and creative community engagement is truly remarkable.
Dr. Rozmus' proposed project to host a summer block party showcasing local resources, while a new mural is painted on the side of
the Abbe Center for Community Mental Health highlights her vision of weaving art and wellness into a vibrant neighborhood
celebration. Through this initiative, Dr. Rozmus aims to:
1. Increase Awareness of Community Resources: By bringing together local organizations and inviting community members to learn
more about mental health support, Dr. Rozmus addresses a critical need. She is passionate about reducing stigma around mental health
and ensuring resources are both visible and accessible.
2. Foster Positive Connections: A block party provides an inclusive, family -friendly environment where neighbors can gather to share
experiences and perspectives. Dr. Rozmus recognizes that strengthening interpersonal relationships through fun, creative events can
cultivate a sense of belonging and well-being.
3. Enrich the Local Arts Landscape: The centerpiece mural will not only beautify the neighborhood but also serve as a lasting symbol
of hope, wellness, and communal strength. Dr. Rozmus envisions this artwork as a beacon for those seeking mental health support,
emphasizing that healing can take many forms, including artistic expression.
Thank you for considering Dr. Chantal Rozmus for this grant opportunity. I am confident that her vision, organizational skills, and
collaborative mindset will make this block party and mural project a resounding success.
Sincerely,
w
