Depression is a very serious mental illness that often goes unnoticed for years. People with concealed depression are battling demons within themselves all on their own. They are not sharing their struggles and do not want to burden those around them.

Vitamin B, St. John’s Wort, and natural sunlight are some of the ways to boost your mood.

In mid-February, renovation of the space for the Center for Mental Health located in the Ore Bucket Building at 214 6th Street, Suite 4D, Crested Butte, CO. began and was estimated to take about 9-weeks to complete. However, Crested Butte, like many other towns in Colorado, was hit with incredible snowfalls in March that caused some delays. It was one of the most active avalanche seasons on record in Colorado and one particular incident which had an impact on construction was a large roof slide that took workers 3 days to dig out the entrance of the building.

The renovation on the Ore Bucket building space which Center for Mental Health will lease at 214 6th Street Suite 4D Crested Butte, CO 81225 has commenced. We are 3 weeks into an estimated 9-week project. In the event there are no further renovation delays, we anticipate a soft opening date of Monday 5/9/19.
