Adjoin is a California statewide nonprofit corporation providing independence and housing stability support to veteran families and people with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in San Diego County. With the recent grand opening of Adjoin's newest program, ARTE, for adults with IDD to hone their artistic interests and build their own microenterprise, Adjoin is partnering with local artists to teach workshops for a variety of art styles and materials.

Local artist, Stephen Williams, was one of the first artists to collaborate with Adjoin and lead a mindfulness art workshop for artists with IDD that infused journaling, breathwork, and abstract art expression. Each artist learned valuable tools to expand their creativity, connect physical art with mental health, and build confidence to create without expectations. As a professional abstract painter, certified art therapy practitioner, community leader, and owner of The Hyangle Art Gallery in Downtown San Diego, Williams often donates his time and resources to make art accessible to the public through local nonprofits.
