What is Our Impact?

Each year, our statewide Mental Wellness Program connects over 7,000 individuals to FREE counseling and mental health services in their communities, no insurance required. In the first half of 2023, the Pueblo area program served 418 Youth & 377 Adults and volunteers served over 450 Hours within the Pueblo community. We run support groups in Pueblo for domestic assault survivors, the LGBTQAI+ community, seniors, youth, families, and men recovering from addiction. 

About the Fundraiser

This year's fundraiser is a luncheon hosted at Pueblo Community College​. The luncheon is free to attend and includes your meal, local youth art & prizes, and the chance to connect with other community members who support mental health awareness.
