Your gift is used to help save lives.
· Since the Challenge began in 2018, funds from the Challenge helped support more than 10,000 suicide-prevention trainings in our communities.
· In 2023, we were able to offer no-cost suicide prevention training to 15 non-profit organizations.
· In 2023, funds help make it possible to train more instructors in one of the following modalities: Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR), Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), Mental Health First Aid, and Crisis Prevention.
· To directly help MHP clients, the clinical teams expanded their Zero Suicide implementation to include early intervention and timely risk reduction measures to prevent crises before they happen.
· To combat the opioid crisis, funds from the Challenge help MHP develop a network of free, easily administrated NARCAN (naloxone) nasal spray kits and fentanyl testing strips in communities across throughout the Broomfield and Boulder counties. These are currently available in at least twelve kiosks throughout the communities.
· In May 2023, funds helped bring Brandon J. Johnson, Suicide Prevention Branch Chief for Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services, to the community as the featured speaker for the annual MHP Community Breakfast event.
· In May 2024, funds brought Kate Fagan to Boulder, known for her book “What Made Maddy Run,” and other successes. Kate Fagan shared insights about suicide and student-athletes.
