North Range Behavioral Health will host local events throughout May in honor of Mental Health Month.
This year, the observance will recognize music’s impact on health during the month dedicated to mental health and promoting wellbeing, according to a North Range news release.
North Range invites the community to “Harmonize Your Mind” at Mental Health Month events in Weld County.
“We have all listened to a song that just made our day better,” the North Range release said. “The lyrics or beat of a track has the power to make us feel happy, motivated, energized or relaxed. The endless magic of music is special in that way: a shared, universal language that connects us to each other.”
The events include:
