Colorado has the ninth highest suicide rate in the country and ranks 43rd
for overall mental wellness. Luckily, more and more Colorado-based organizations
are taking on the state’s mental health challenges and investing
in creative new solutions for care.
Join us as we kick off the second year of a series of free mental health
lectures sponsored by
Boulder Community Health Foundation,
Mental Health Partners,
Boulder Rotary and
Boulder Valley Rotary. Our four-part series, “Elevating Mental Health," explores new strategies for enhancing the mental health care of
Coloradans.
FIRST LECTURE
Emerging innovations in mental health care
Join Matt Vogl, MPH — co-founder of CU Anschutz’s National
Mental Health Innovation Center — as he looks beyond current treatments
and describes how virtual reality and other new technologies have the
potential to make mental health services better and more accessible to
everyone. He’ll then discuss strategies for engaging non-traditional
mental health professionals in the prevention and treatment of mental illness.
When: Monday, Feb. 18, 6:30 p.m.
Where: Boulder Jewish Community Center, 6007 Oreg Ave. (Near the intersection
