Lawrence's Fundraiser: ASP Prevent Suicide 2024!

Why it Matters to Me:

"I work with the Alliance for Suicide Prevention of Larimer County because I believe in the power of opening a dialogue about mental health in our community. As a Veteran of the US Army, I have witnessed the toll that mental health struggles and loss can take, and I know firsthand the pain and trauma of losing someone to suicide. I am committed to breaking down the stigma around seeking support, especially for those who may feel they have to shoulder their burdens alone. Through my own journey, I've also learned the profound impact that talking about mental health can have – not only for me but for those around me as well. Mental health is something that we all may struggle with from time to time, but no one should feel like they must suffer alone. 

I also believe that we all share the responsibility of making our community a better place. When I joined the Alliance in early 2024, I immediately felt their deep commitment to this shared responsibility and saw how they prioritize human relationships and community connections. I am passionate about serving, connecting, and empowering those around me to create a space where seeking help is seen as a strength and actively encouraged".

The Alliance for Suicide Prevention of Larimer County is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those impacted by suicide. In our community, a suicide happens every 5-6 days, and it remains a leading cause of death among youth. However, there is hope—the suicide rate in Larimer County has consistently decreased since 2020, and we are the only county in Colorado to achieve this!

Your donations allow us to continue offering free services like prevention education, mental health training, and support groups for those affected by suicide. Together, we can keep supporting our community and work toward a future without suicide. Thank you for helping us save lives! #ColoradoGives
