Empower Idaho 2023 Mental Health Month Art Exhibition

The 2023 Idaho Mental Health Month Art Exhibition honors the mental health journeys of our fellow Idahoans through artistic expression. Artists have the opportunity to speak about their pieces and share their experience and relationship with mental health.

Exhibición De Arte Del Mes De La Salud Mental De Idaho 2023

La Exhibición de Arte del Mes de la Salud Mental de Idaho 2023 honrará las jornadas de salud mental de nuestros residentes de Idaho a través de la expresión artística. Los artistas tendrán la oportunidad de hablar sobre sus piezas y compartir sus experiencias y relaciones con la salud mental.

Annually, Empower Idaho partners with the seven Idaho Behavioral Health Boards (BHBs) to recognize a mental health advocate in their region. The BHBs select an individual in their respective communities who exemplifies community advocacy, resiliency, and passion for mental health. Each advocate’s work embodies these qualities and deserves acknowledgement and celebration.

Congratulations to the 2023 Idaho Mental Health Advocates!

Mental Health Month Happenings

May 8 – May 12, 2023: Idaho HOPE Week sponsored by the Idaho Resilience Project
H.O.P.E. stands for Healthy Outcome from Positive Experiences.
According to the national HOPE organization, H.O.P.E. is a way of thinking and talking about experiences that support children’s growth and development into healthy, resilient adults. It’s based on four essential building blocks for healthy childhood development: relationships, safe environments, social and civic engagement, and emotional growth. By providing these building blocks, youth can develop the skills they need to thrive and succeed.
