Join Colorado Artists in Recovery (CAiR) on Fri, 7 Apr 2023 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM MDT as they host their very first Friday Art Show of the year! When we celebrate recovery through creation, we are able to define our recovery journeys for ourselves. ❤️ eventbrite.com/e/cair-art-sho…

According to Mental Health America, Colorado ranks among the worst states in the nation for access to behavioral health services. We know we can do better as a community, and it starts with changing the conversation.

Whether you're in recovery from a physical health, mental health, or substance use condition, we see you. We are proud of the path you've taken to get here. And we wish you health all year round ❤️

Happy #WorldHealthDay! Today, we look forward to a future where everyone, regardless of their circumstances, can access whole-person, whole-brain healthcare.

Recovery may look different for everyone, and that's more than okay - that's how it should be. No one else can tell you what is right for you. You get to define your recovery for yourself. That's what peer support is all about: helping others find their own pathway to recovery.

You are infinitely valuable - you deserve to feel cared for and supported, no matter what you're going through. You are enough, and you deserve support.

How do we support our friends living in recovery? Give them the opportunity to tell you how they want to be supported. Every person is different, and every recovery is different - let them lead the way.

At CMWN, we advocate for whole-brain healthcare. We should always remain aware of the intersections between mental health, trauma, substance use, and physical health conditions - our brains are complex and interconnected, and our healthcare should reflect that.

Make time for what matters to you, and don't give up! #Wellness

We celebrate Mental Health Month by fighting the stigma surrounding mental health conditions, advocating for policies that support and protect people with lived experience, and showing support to our communities. What does #MentalHealthMonth mean to you?

Mental health is about more than what goes on in our brains. Mental health conditions don't happen in a vacuum - they are shaped by the world around us. #MentalHealthMonth #MentalHealthAwareness

We know that self-care is necessary for sustained recovery - it's not optional! #MentalHealthMonth

What do we do when someone uses stigmatizing language? We should always approach them with understanding, but that doesn't mean we can't speak up. Offer them alternative, person-first language - remind them that there are real communities that have been affected by stigma.

We are so excited to announce that the Colorado Association of Peer Support Professionals is launching on October 19th, 2023! You can sign up now for the Association's mailing list to stay up-to-date with our launch. #ComingSoon 👀 coloradopeersupport.com

Did you know that being creative can be supportive to your wellness? Even if you aren't a great artist or writer, exercising your creativity leads to better outcomes. #MentalHealthMonth

Happy Pride from CMWN! No one should ever feel like they don't belong - you DO belong! You DO matter! We are proud to celebrate our communities and their identities this month 💗

Parts work is a type of therapy that allows us to identify the many different parts of ourselves. This kind of therapy can be especially useful for those who have experienced trauma, but parts work can benefit anyone!
