We All Have Mental Health

Mental health is how we think, feel and act. 

Our model for mental health at the Y is about creating a space for community care. Y leaders practice caring for themselves as well as others.  

Our community's mental health is reflective of the broader community. Developing and maintaining positive mental health enables individuals to realize their full potential, cope with stress, be productive and contribute in a meaningful way to their families, workplaces and communities.

Over the past ten years and during the COVID-19 pandemic, people experienced high levels of isolation, grief and a shift in their normal routines. The Y community is where we can learn and practice resilience - our ability to thrive, adapt and cope despite tough and stressful times. We can all practice connecting with ourselves, others and new coping skills that help us thrive.

Programs and our staff at the YMCA of Metro Denver: 

• Promote healthy, motivated, socially-connected adults who contribute to strong communities. 

• Support positive mental health among youth so they can successfully navigate the complexities of life, develop fulfilling relationships, adapt to change and realize their potential.  

We all have mental health.
