Colies Closet

A nonprofit organization

We are a peer-education group that goes into middle and high school classrooms in Boulder Valley School district to present on warning signs and risk factors of depression and suicide. Our aim is to educate youth about depression and suicide to prevent suicide. 

Through education, awareness and prevention, we hope those experiencing depression and other mental illnesses will better understand how to get help and know they are not alone. Depression is treatable and suicide is preventable. 

It is the belief of Colie’s Closet, that emphasizing educating teenagers, young adults, and others about depression and suicide is key to bringing down the suicide rate. Having knowledge about depression, knowing the warning signs of suicide and where to go for help will assist those who may find themselves in a seemingly hopeless situation. 

The reality is … depression and suicide do not discriminate. They affect all age groups, genders, ethnic and socioeconomic groups, religions, and are nationwide problems. 

In addition to education, Colie’s Closet helps provide financial assistance for therapy for depressed or suicidal youth through fundraising. 

Your donation will go towards our annual training retreat, guest speakers for our students, and ensuring that Colie's Closet remains free for all students who participate.
