It is time to shine a light for mental health awareness.
Pick up a light bulb, green ribbon, and more at these locations.
CB State of Mind is launching its 2nd annual Mental Health Awareness Campaign in collaboration with YOU our community Sunday, March 27th to Sunday, April 30th leading into the spring off-season.
It is time to shine a light for mental health awareness. We are asking our friends and neighbors to join us in this effort by placing a green light in your windows for this entire MONTH to help raise awareness about mental health!
The purpose of this campaign is to raise awareness about mental health, but more importantly, to spark conversations and fight the stigma surrounding mental health.
You can help shine the light on mental health by one simple gesture of changing your lights green!

MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS
You're invited to participate in a community conversation about mental health. This is your opportunity to provide input on: • The state of mental health and substance abuse in our community. • What can be done to effectively reduce the stigma of mental health. • What steps should be taken to unveil a stigma reduction campaign.

The first Community Connection event hosted by @cb_state_of_mind is this Friday, June 17th at 5:30pm.

We can’t wait to see you at the studio❣️
Another successful green light campaign!!!! Thank you all for everything. All of us are important, each of our stories, each of our green lights shows the importance of community. We stand up for the people we love and the people we don’t know yet. We are unstoppable. #greenlightcampaign #mentalhealthmatters
All of you make this possible. And we are so thankful! Mental illness doesn’t need to be eradicated, it needs to be understood and people need to be supported. Your green lights help us show that mental health DOES matter and that we will not give up, we will keep shining bright until across the valley people are having conversations about mental health! #greenlightcampaign #thankyou #mentalhealthmatters
Therapy is a tool that can help us navigate life and provide us with a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
You don’t need to be in crisis to seek therapy. You don’t need to have a mental illness to seek therapy.
Everyone deserves support and we are working to share this message.
Please share if you believe that needing therapy doesn’t mean you’re crazy, and let’s view mental health support in a new light! A green light!
Mental health matters and we are here to change the dialogue! #greenlightcampaign #mentalhealthmatters #therapyiscool #mentalhealthsupport #everyonedeservessupport
In our community this time of year is especially difficult. We see our highest rates of suicide attempts, and non fatal overdoses, and many people reach out for support. The time between when the ski hill closes and the mountains are clear enough to bike and hike, is a time where mental health often hits its lowest low. We wanted to raise awareness and shine our lights in the darkness to provide hope to our neighbors. You are not alone, we are not alone, times are tough but we are resilient and we will make it through. So if you are having a tough time, reach out to someone in your life, apply for a therapy scholarship or speak your truth, and together we can get through this. #greenlightcampaign #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #smashthestigma

Thankful for all the people that attended the Vail employee day! We were able to share resources and see many smiling faces! We love a collaborative community effort for increased behavioral health! Shine on! #greenlightcampaign #bettertogethergv
We are in this together. Often it can feel like we are alone in our misery and that there aren’t many options to overcome the pain we may be feeling. Let’s challenge those thoughts. We are not alone. You are not alone, despite how it may feel. There are resources and people that can support us. #greenlightcampaign #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #shinebright

Thank you so much to everyone that came out today and helped us light up elk ave! We are shining a light for mental health and brightening people’s days! #greenlightcampaign
It’s that time of year again!! We are reaching out for your help. We are looking for volunteers to help us light up Elk Avenue GREEN!
Task: Wrap the lamp posts up and down Elk Ave with green Christmas light strands
When: Saturday, March 26th 9:00am
Where: Meet in the small parking lot in front of Bank of the West.
What to bring: Yourself, a friend, and a large step ladder (if you have one)!
Last year this was accomplished in less than an hour with 15-18 volunteers, so more the merrier and you will still have time to ski or enjoy the amazing sunshine the rest day! #greenlightcampaign #mentalhealthmatters
Today we are tabling at Western in the University Center! Swing by to pick up a green lightbulb! We will also be at the mental health matters event this evening! Thank you all for shining green and showing your support! #greenlightcampaign
Mental health is a commitment and it is achievable. With the right support, skills and strengths we can all live lives that are full while still acknowledging the impacts of mental illness.
Mental illness doesn’t have to be the end of a good life. We live with mental illness but it doesn’t need to define us.
Let’s be the support for those around us and for ourselves.
Some days we can only help ourselves, other days we are able to greatly impact those around us. All days we are worthy of support and deserve to get the help we need.
Let’s turn on our green lights and show that we recognize the impact of mental illness and believe in the ability to increase mental health.
#greenlightcampaign #cbstateofmind #stigmareduction #mentalhealthmatters
How can we better support the community? How can we represent mental health? How do people want to be involved in this movement? We are better together and it’s time to talk about it! Join us for a conversation, we want to hear your voices! #bettertogethergv #mentalhealthmatters
Let’s turn the valley green! Mental health matters and we are a community that acknowledges the impact of mental illness and is actively working towards mental health for all! We all deserve support, we are not alone! #greenlightcampaign #cbstateofmind
