BWAG Documents |
The Behavioral Wellness Action Group works towards reducing the stigma and increasing compassion for those with mental health issues, through awareness-raising activities. Recent projects have included creating a resource list for those seeking mental health assistance, a call-to-action list for those wanting to get involved, two mental health lecture series (conducted in partnership with Boulder Valley Rotary, Boulder Community Health, and Mental Health Partners), and the creation of a Mindfulness Path at Boulder Community Health’s new Della Cava Family Medical Pavilion. Most recently, we have been working on a medication take-back program to encourage people to remove from their medicine cabinets no-longer-needed medications – before youth can get them. (As many as 70% of teens who become addicted to opioids start out by taking them out of relatives’ medicine cabinets). |
