Here's where we are.

We're struggling with our biggest mental health crisis to date.

Our schools aren't designed to be student-centric.

Healthy activities like skiing and biking are locked behind a paywall.

We don't have a safe and trusted system to inform about incidents.


Here's where we are going.

We've designed Gunnison's best ever peer support program.

Peer support is the single most effective tool we have to solve this crisis. We must be able to use it; and we must be able to use it correctly.
