UCHealth\u2019s Mountain Crest Behavioral Health Center is looking for donated items and volunteer artists for its upcoming fundraiser.<\/p>\n

On June 3, the center is hosting \u201cWindows for Wellness,\u201d an event that aims to raise funds for additional community services such as an outdoor fenced area for inpatients and the creation of an art\/music therapy program.
\nThis piece of art, which sits on the desk at a local\u2019s home, showcases old photos from a farmstead from which the window frame came. Mountain Crest Behavioral Health staff is seeking donated window frames or screens to turn into art, and\/or artists willing to submit similar art pieces to be auctioned off at the center\u2019s upcoming fundraiser.
\n\u201cMental health is never a money-making department but it is a highly needed service,\u201d said Sara Tcheshie of Mountain Crest.<\/p>\n

The center is seeking donated window frames (with or without glass) or screens that can be turned into art. Donations are needed by Feb. 29. Artists also can donate their time to create a piece that can then be donated to the fundraising event. Projects must be complete by June 1. Details of the June 3 event will be released at a later date.<\/p>\n

In May 2015, the center successfully raised $6,000 for its proposed projects through a silent auction of decorative musical instruments and community donations. All donations are tax deductible.<\/p>\n

While Colorado has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation, it ranks in the bottom half in per-capita state and federal spending on mental health, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of it is a cultural thing. We are a cowboy state where people don\u2019t seek mental health care,\u201d said Monica Smith, UCHealth\u2019s director of behavioral health in northern Colorado. \u201cThe other part is that it\u2019s a poorly funded program.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2015, Mountain Crest had more than 13,300 patient visits to its center and 1,524 inpatients.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking for this event to bring awareness to mental health services, as well as help strengthen those services we can provide to the community,\u201d Tcheshie said.<\/p>\n

In Larimer County, one person dies by suicide every four to five days. And in 2014, drugs, alcohol or both were present in 73 percent of people who died by suicide, according to Mountain Crest\u2019s statistics.<\/p>\n

People interested in donating can contact Sara Tcheshie by calling 970.207.4801 or emailing sara.tcheshie@uchealth.org<\/a>. Items also can be dropped off at Mountain Crest, 4601 Corbett Drive, Fort Collins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
