MY 20TH YEAR RIDING! WHY I'M RAISING $25,000 FOR PEDIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH 

AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO 

Children's Colorado treats the most children in mental health crisis in all 64 counties. We are one of the largest providers of outpatient care while providing inpatient care to kids with the most complex mental health challenges. Our medical staff, along with the University of Colorado, has over 600 mental health providers serving our state's population. We have been meeting the struggles of our patients head on before the pandemic exacerbated mental health issues among our young people. Since the start of the pandemic, rates of depression, anxiety, thoughts of suicide, suicide attempts and behavioral health ER visits have exploded.  As we continue to build a stronger foundation for addressing mental health among children and youth, we are focused on four key areas:

  •  Recruiting and retaining world-class specialists and investing in continuing education   opportunities for providers across our state as we build, strengthen and diversify our   mental health workforce.
  •  Increasing care environments across the continuum of care, from expanding prevention   services to establishing new specialty care clinics and ensuring the right options with   pediatric experts trained specifically in areas such as anxiety, mood disorders and   neurodevelopmental disorders.
  •  Integrating best-in-class research and innovation into clinical practice.
  •  Investing in family support, engagement and advocacy programs while partnering with school   districts, primary care providers and other health care professionals on suicide prevention   and other wellness initiatives so that mental health expertise is embedded where kids   and families live, learn and connect. 

Our Psyched to Climb team is one of the only teams supporting pediatric mental health at this year's Courage Classic. Please consider a gift of  $50, $100, $1,000, $2500, $5,000 or $10,000 to support our mental health initiatives through our team's ride. Click on the DONATE NOW link at the top of this page and you will be a vital contributor to our bold vision of creating a sea change for kids in mental health crisis.

The challenges are substantial but our determination to succeed is possible and we are staying true to our North Star in doing what is right for our kids. With the help of donors like you, we are starting to see the positive effects of the work we are doing. These kids are desperate to feel good again and attain positive brain health. 
 
To all of you who will support my 20th Courage Classic ride this year, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for continuing to make this one of your philanthropic priorities.  

With gratitude,
Anne

Courage Classic donations in general support the Children's Fund, which serves the greatest needs of our patients. However, teams which reach a certain fundraising threshold may designate the gifts they raise to support a specific Children's Hospital Colorado program or service line. If your donation supports a rider or team to which this becomes applicable, you will receive an email notification.

If you think this page contains objectionable content, please inform us.

We believe all children should have the chance for a healthy future.

We are committed to community engagement and facilitating philanthropic support on behalf of the children and families Children's Colorado serves across the Rocky Mountain region and throughout the world.
