Traci's Fundraiser: ASP Prevent Suicide 2025!

Working at the Alliance for Suicide Prevention combines everything I’m passionate about: neuroscience, positive psychology, teaching, and building community. My academic focus was on understanding the brain and finding joy in small moments during hard times, and this role allows me to apply that knowledge to empower youth by helping them discover their strengths and learn how to access mental health resources. Like many, I’ve been personally touched by suicide, and the more people I meet, the clearer it becomes that this issue impacts everyone, even if we don’t always realize it. Opening up conversations and helping others do the same is one of the most meaningful parts of my work, and I’m proud to be part of this mission to make a difference.

The Alliance for Suicide Prevention of Larimer County is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those impacted by suicide.

Colorado continues to rank among the top ten states for suicide deaths. In our community, a suicide occurs every 5–6 days — each one someone’s child, parent, partner, or friend. Behind every number is a story and a community that must respond.

For over 30 years, the Alliance for Suicide Prevention of Larimer County has been on the front lines — offering free education, outreach, and support to thousands each year. Your donations allow us to continue providing prevention education, mental health trainings, and grief support for those affected by suicide.

But the need is growing faster than the funding. Calls for help are rising, youth anxiety is at record highs, and community partners are stretched thin. To keep these lifesaving programs active and reach those who need us most, we need your support now more than ever.

Your generosity makes prevention possible.Your gift saves lives. 💜
