RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – Mental Health: Mind Matters at The Discovery uses hands-on, interactive and immersive multimedia activities to give visitors of every age a memorable and impactful experience exploring mental health and its prevalence in society. Mental illness touches all of our lives in some way, making this exhibition a timely and important resource.

Patrick Turner, chief advancement officer at The Discovery, stopped by Morning Break to share what why they wanted to create an exhibit like this for people of all ages.

Mind Matters builds understanding and awareness by giving visitors the opportunity to see how mental illness has been treated in the past, as well as the chance to better understand what it’s like to live with mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

The exhibit will be on display at The Discovery through Sunday, Sept. 8. You can learn more about this exhibit and others on Facebook and Instagram.
