We are wrapping up the Gunnison Valley Mental Health Awareness Month with an important event. Join us this Wednesday, 4/26 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm for a “humanizing addiction” video showing, followed by a community/panel discussion. It will be located at the Western UC Movie Theatre. Please feel free to share!
It is important to remind yourself that you’re doing the best you can! While progress may not always be seen, it is there.
Take the time to prioritize your mental health! There’s always going to be highs and lows in life. It is important to learn how to navigate the emotions you are feeling. Questions you can ask yourself are why are you feeling this way, is there anything that is triggering this emotion, and what can I do to make it better?
For mental health awareness month, many members in the community have placed green lights in their homes and businesses. Please share pictures and tag @cb_state_of_mind or use the hashtag #greenlightcampaign to be featured on our page!
Join us TOMORROW at 5:30 pm for a Mental Health Pop Up Exhibit at the Center for the Arts
