And it is working! Alarming national statistics indicate that Hispanic high school girls are most likely to seriously consider and attempt suicide. Latina youth in Denver are no exception. Voz y Corazón is a free, culturally responsive support, education, and prevention program designed for Latina youth. It teaches them how to recognize and respond to signs of suicide in themselves and their peers. Volunteers mentor the teens and help them with self-expression through artwork and with developing a healthy bi-cultural identity. Teens are trained as gatekeepers' to support their peers who may be in trouble. "I have many friends that need help and do drugs and try suicide. I want to help them," says one teen participant. Voz y Corazón Teen Art Show and Benefit gives the teens a chance to showcase their art work and creativity. The teen's art work will be professionally displayed at the Red Line Art for viewing and certain pieces will be available for purchase. The public is invited. All donations support this important program. What: Voz y Corazón Teen Art Show and Benefit When: Saturday, June 12, 2010 Time: 5:30-10:30pm - Dinner, Dancing and Silent Auction 17 and under are free. Adults $40, Couples $70 Where: Red Line Art 2350 Arapahoe Street Denver, Colorado 80205 More details on the Voz y Corazón Teen Art Show and Benefit can be found at http://www.mhcd.org/Service/VozYCorazon.html Voz y Corazón is a collaboration of the Mental Health Center of Denver, Girls, Inc., Sisters of Color United for Education, Lowry Family Center, Denver Health and Denver Public Schools.

 artist - grace introducing... lead with your heart ... an ongoing collection of sent(a)mental studios - youth project. This collection began at the 2nd Annual Queer Youth Summit this year in Denver CO. Sent(a)Mental Studios was there providing a day long open-studio environment. The theme this year was "lead with your heart" partially due to the timing being so close to Valentines Day. I began by thinking about how when i was in grade school the goal was really all about collecting as many valentines as I could... definitely more about quantity than quality. This led to my thoughts around how if we are truly to lead with our hearts - perhaps it should start with our own - and so this collection was born. The idea being to use the image of the heart as a template to fill and show how your heart feels on the inside and to use the space outside of the heart to show what is effecting and influencing it. Each person took it there own way and a variety of work was created. I decided to continue this as an ongoing project in the hopes to collect the expressions of individual hearts and hang them together as the project grows... to show how the heart connects us all. If you are interested in contributing to this collection just shoot me an email through the contact page on this site and I will send you the page to work from so you can print it out and then you can send it to me. | TOO BLUE
