Build a Strong Future for Our Youth

As the Executive Director of Resilience1220, I’ve had the privilege of watching our organization grow, evolve, and make a lasting impact on the lives of young people in our mountain communities. Together, we've built a safe and supportive space where youth ages 12-20 can receive free counseling, attend support groups, and gain the life skills needed to navigate their mental health challenges with resilience.

Why Your Support Matters

In the wake of the pandemic and a tumultuous election year, mental health struggles among youth have escalated, and the need for our services has never been more urgent. Resilience1220’s free counseling services and programs are a lifeline for so many, but we can’t do it alone. Here is how your gift can make a difference. 

- Every $100 provides a free, one-on-one therapy session for a young person who otherwise may not have access to mental health resources.

- Every $300 provides three counseling sessions for a young client's parent or teacher. 

- Every $500 covers an art therapy or other customized group where young people can share their experiences and find strength in community. 

A Personal Ask from Me

As I transition out of my role as Executive Director, I am deeply committed to making sure Resilience1220 is positioned for long-term success. This campaign is not just about meeting our financial needs for the year; it’s about ensuring that Resilience1220 remains a constant source of support for the youth in our community for years to come. 

With your support, our dedicated team will:

- Maintain and expand our current services throughout Jefferson, Gilpin, Clear Creek and Park counties.

- Build a sustainable future with a strong foundation we achieve through enhanced community outreach and new partnerships.

- Continue to be a trusted resource for young people and expand their access to our school-based programming.

I am grateful for the incredible team, supporters, and community partners who have helped make Resilience1220 what it is today, and I am confident that with your generosity, we will leave a legacy of resilience that endures well beyond my tenure.

Together, We Build Resilience

Thank you for your ongoing support. As I move on to new opportunities, I know that the community we’ve built at Resilience1220 will continue to grow and serve the youth who need it most.
