The talented Evelyn Hald designed the logo with input from RAFT founder. After approving the logo, Becca realized just how perfectly it depicts her own Mental Health Journey. Becca wrote the poem Disappear upon entering a partial hospitalization program in March of 2017. The blue of the water represents the feeling of drowning in the darkness. After three months at Vantage Point Recovery, Becca graduated from her program a new woman. She wrote Dawn the morning she graduated. The sunrise represents coming out of the darkness of depression.

I am assured that I am never alone

And that dawn always comes^[1]
