Second Wind 5K Run, Walk or Ride

Each September, the SWFMD hosts the largest suicide prevention event in the nation.  Our Walk/Run/Ride event takes place in Lakewood, Colorado.  The event began in 2002 with 66 participants, and has grown to include nearly 3000 walkers, runners, and riders who come to the event to support SWFMD and learn more about youth suicide prevention.  Please visit the events section of the website to learn more about this event and to see promotions with companies who support us.  There are many opportunities for Corporate and Faith sponsorships of this marquee event.

Youth We Are Helping

This 13 year old girl told one of her teachers yesterday that she has been thinking of suicide. She has no current plan, although in the past she has had a plan to slit her wrists. She is extremely stressed right now, as her Mom was just laid off. Additionally, depression runs in the family. Her primary care doctor recommended that she see a therapist, but the family never followed through. Family would have a hard time paying the co-pay for therapy considering their recent change in finances. No Medicaid
