The University of Northern Colorado is hosting Centennial Area Health Education Center's (CAHEC) traveling mental health exhibit, "Be Mindful, It Matters”. This innovative and impactful exhibit is on display from October 20 through December 12, 2025 at the Michener Library at the Mari Michener Gallery. The public is invited to view the exhibit free of charge thanks to a grant from the Colorado Health Foundation.
In Colorado, the statistics are a stark reminder of the ongoing mental health crisis: 1 in 5 individuals are experiencing poor mental health, and 1 in 10 avoid seeking necessary support due to the prevailing stigma. CAHEC's "Be Mindful, It Matters" exhibit seeks to change these troubling trends by providing an interactive, engaging, and educational experience.
The "Be Mindful, It Matters" exhibit provides an interactive journey into mental health awareness. Visitors can learn, engage, and connect with the experiences of fellow Coloradans. The exhibit aims to break down the barriers of stigma surrounding mental health through a combination of engaging visuals, informative content, and interactive features. This exhibit is an essential step towards building a more informed and supportive community in Colorado. We invite everyone to take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn and grow together in understanding mental health.
