Breaking the stigma around mental health and suicide through education

Make Mental Health Matter.

Community.
Connection.
Conversation.

We aren't just saying mental health matters, we are taking action to MAKE mental health matter. Through Awareness, Conversation and Education.


Why is this all important?

According to the CDC:

  • 1 in 5 adults experience a mental illness in a given year.
  • 1 in 25 Americans lives with a serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression.
  • Suicide as cause of death in Colorado was #1 for ages 10-14 and #2 for ages 15-44 in 2019.

According to the Colorado Health Institute:

  • 1 in 10 people in Colorado did not receive proper health care in 2019.
  • Less than 1/3 of Coloradans who were diagnosed with a mental disorder (anxiety, depression, etc.) and who committed suicide received mental health care.
  • 42% of Colorado youth (LGBTQIA) considered suicide in 2019 verses 13.4% of heterosexual youth.
  • Systemic Racism in Healthcare is a real issue nationally and in Colorado.
