Our Work with Youth Mental Health & Wellness
Our Community Foundation has long recognized that youth in western Colorado experience higher rates of suicide, substance use and other unhealthy choices. Youth across our seven-county region are experiencing increased anxiety, hopelessness and behavioral health challenges worsened by the negative impacts of social media, and the isolation and disruption from an ongoing pandemic. Our YouthStrong work offers tools, resources and best practices to help our communities, families, educators and providers support our youth to stay safe, strong and successful.
YouthStrong is a multi-tiered initative that focuses on increaing resilience and well-being for youth, and preventing suide and substance use.
