Douglas County Libraries Hosts ‘The Sammy Project’ in Support of Mental Health

CASTLE ROCK, Colo.—Douglas County Libraries is proud to host The Sammy Project, a traveling photography show that brings awareness to mental health and seeks to destigmatize it through personal portraits and stories of young adults living with mental health challenges. The Sammy Project, by Whitney Yeager, is on display at the library’s Castle Rock location (100 S. Wilcox St.) through February, and will travel to the libraries in Highlands Ranch in March, Parker in April, and Lone Tree in May.

“The power of the Sammy Project is that it shows the faces of mental health and tells their stories,” said Jaime Gotlieb, Community Services and Partnerships Manager at Douglas County Libraries (DCL). “Hopefully, by normalizing conversations around mental health, more people will open up about their struggles and seek the support and help they need in whatever way is most appropriate.”
