Within 48 to 72 hours of referral, youth are connected with fully licensed, private-practice therapists including bilingual Spanish-speaking and LGBTQIA+ clinicians. With no cost to families and no waitlists we make certain that local youth receive timely, culturally responsive, and identity-affirming care.
Join us in making life-saving impact.
The mission of Rise Against Suicide is to help young people at risk of suicide by removing barriers and providing timely access to funded therapeutic support, helping them to find hope and healing.
Our journey began in September 2009, when we supported fewer than 50 youth with around 300 sessions annually. Today, we provide over 3,000 free, rapid-access therapy sessions each year for more than 400 youth across Boulder and Broomfield counties. Since our founding, more than 27,000 fully funded sessions have reached over 2,500 local young people, helping them reclaim their lives.
