Upcoming Programs
The Health Center at Auraria has a variety of offerings through different Outreach Programs that extend beyond the Medical Services and Mental Health Services. Programs are available to all Auraria Campus, CCD, MSU Denver and CU Denver students, faculty and staff which are offered at no charge. The programs enhance many aspects of wellness, allowing an individual to manage school and everyday life while also learning new skills to promote overall wellbeing.
Through our campus interactive Events and Mental Health Resources students can drop in to learn about trending health topics. In addition, each institution has access to their own health blog, CampusWELL for current wellness information. You can also take a Pilates, Yoga or Zumba class through the Healthy Pursuits Mind Body Fitness classes.
Faculty, staff and student organizations can also request Presentations and/or Trainings tailored to specific health subjects.

Compassion in Color
Studies show that there is a positive relationship between creativity and subjective wellbeing. The theory behind Art Therapy suggests drawing, coloring and painting can help you tune into and express anxieties, or difficult feelings you have trouble putting into words. And, no, you do not have to be an artist to get creative. The Health Center at Auraria, in collaboration with Project Angel Heart, have made it convenient to engage in self-expression, offering a year-round creation station near the atrium of the library (all supplies provided). This also supports Project Angel Heart’s mission of delivering nutritious meals to individuals diagnosed with severe illnesses.
