Be Kind to Your Mind: RVBH’s 2025 Youth Mental Health Art Collection Featured at OHRH
If you visit the main lobby of Owensboro Health Regional Hospital (OHRH) in the next two weeks, you will see this beautiful art exhibit dedicated to the "Be Kind to Your Mind: Youth Mental Health Art Contest," organized by RiverValley Behavioral Health. Launched in May 2021 during Mental Health Awareness Month, this contest invites young artists from our seven-county region in Kentucky to express messages of hope and raise awareness about mental health through their artwork.
Since its inception, the contest has received over 2,000 submissions and awarded more than $20,000 in scholarships and donations to support students and schools in our region.
The 2025 collection on display at OHRH features this year’s finalists. Each piece conveys powerful messages of hope, resilience and mental health awareness.
The exhibit aims to bring joy and encouragement to all who view it, celebrating the importance of mental well-being.
This is one of the many ways Owensboro Health is proud to partner with local organizations, demonstrating our commitment to positively impacting the communities we serve.
