Our first grant was awarded to:
Second Wind Fund
Colorado
www.thesecondwindfund.org
The Second Wind Fund is a teen suicide prevention
fund. When a school counselor deems a student at-risk
for suicide and the student has inadequate mental
health insurance, Second Wind pays licensed, private
therapists, experts in working with teens at-risk
for suicide and working at reduced rates, to provide
emergency counseling services for the student.
They used our grant to expand their program into Adams
County, the county where Carson lived with his family.
This initiative was particularly meaningful to us
because not only do they provide a unique and useful
service to at-risk youth in Colorado, the help the
un- and under-insured, a goal that Carson also shared.
Support this Colorado partner in suicide prevention
by attending their annual
“Second Wind Fund Walk” on September
24, 2006.
