Mental Health Awareness
Mental health matters, and it's time we talk about it openly. Many people face mental health challenges, yet the stigma surrounding these issues often prevents them from seeking help. By spreading awareness, we can create a supportive community where everyone feels safe to share their struggles and seek the support they need. Let's break the silence, educate ourselves and others, and show compassion to those dealing with mental health issues. Together, we can make a difference. Remember, it's okay not to be okay, and help is always available.
The accelerating unrest and daily trauma of living in the United States in 2024 has placed a spotlight and a premium on our mental health. No matter race, age or circumstance, all of us struggle to remain happy, healthy and mentally prepared to take on the never-ending challenge of our time.
Coloradans are struggling with their mental health. More than one in four people reported poor mental health in 2023. That’s the highest number the CHAS has ever measured, but statistically unchanged from 2021.
Younger adults reported the most serious mental health challenges, with more than a third of respondents between ages 18-50 in poor mental health. But children’s mental health struggles continued to grow.
Colorado has put serious effort into improving access to mental health care. But the need for care continued to overwhelm the system.
Through experiential programs, our students are reminded of how powerful they are. And with the tools they receive, no one can take that away from them.

DENVER RETREAT GIRLS
Kelis Young
Some of my challenges and struggles were Communicating and making new friends. I think this is a really good place for me to feel like I belong and feel like somebody cares for me and is a part of my life. I like meditation a lot. It’s open my mind till the start of my first night.
I’ve got a lot of messages that I really don’t know I should know. It’s a good way for girls to come together and realize they have coping mechanisms to work on their self confidence and to know what issues they are going through.
Aria Johnson
I got interested in the Compass Rose retreat because I heard about it from a friend and when we looked it up, my mom and I decided it looked really fun and like a great opportunity for me to learn more about myself.
I’ve definitely learned a lot here about self-confidence and that all starts with you and how you perceive yourself and handle yourself. And it’s not about what other people think.
Te'Aira Payne
On some challenges that I’ve experienced before the retreat is just kind of like balancing life work life school life kind of everything. I don’t have the time to just sit and take a deep breath and meditate so I feel like this retreat will help me figure out the tools to find the time.
I’ve definitely felt like I’ve started to gain a new sense of self. I’ve learned how to get deep into lucid dreaming and stuff like that which is something that I’ve never actively tried to do before.
