Mental Health Matters Exhibition at Discovery Place
As the leading hub for science learning in the Carolinas, Discovery Place is proud to present Mental Health: MIND MATTERS and provide a safe space to hold important conversations that impact us on both a personal level and as a community.
The new special exhibition Mental Health: MIND MATTERS explores the stigma of mental illness while illustrating the facts—mental illness is common; it can happen to anyone, and it is treatable. Featuring hands-on activities and multimedia experiences, this exhibition explores the science behind our feelings and how we experience the world around us.
