Improving Lives, Transforming Minds.
On Thursday June 12, 2014 at RedLine gallery in Denver, Colorado donors gathered to celebrate MHAC’s Education, Prevention, & Outreach Programs. Ticket sales went to fund MHAC’s programs Check Your Head, Pro Bono Counseling & Referral Program, Speaker’s Bureau, and mental health “first aid” training which help meet the mental health needs of people throughout Colorado. This special cocktail reception featured art & poetry from Check Your Head students, stories of impact from MHAC program recipients, and a presentation of the Sandra Rhodes Community Leader Award.
Sandra Rhodes has served as a mental health professional for The Gathering Place, Colorado Youth at Risk and received the Mental Health America National Award for volunteer service in 2010. She has also sat on the board of Denver Children’s Home, Colorado Psychological Association, Mental Health America of Colorado, Colorado Youth at Risk and MHAC Honorary Board of Directors.
