Mental Health IconMENTAL HEALTH and wellness HUB

During this stressful and uncertain time, it is essential to address and tend to the mental health and wellness of ourselves, our family, and community. Below you will find a variety of resources to support you and your family members.

MAY FOCUS: Mental health awareness

Mental health is essential to everyone’s overall health and well-being. There are practical tools that everyone can use to improve their mental health and increase resiliency, regardless of the situations they are dealing with. Incorporating these tools may not be easy but can be achieved by gradually making small changes and building on those successes.

A healthier mind, no matter your age, can make a powerful difference. Health is mind and body and it spreads through our communities, our families and our homes just like sickness does. To end shame and discrimination associated with mental health, we may need to understand it in a new or different way. Join Dr. Vincent Atchity (President & CEO of Mental Health Colorado) as he explores the powerful influence our beliefs and interactions can have not only on our own mental health, but on the mental health of our children, our families and those around us. 

Monthly Training Events and Seminars
