Stigma Hides Them;
LOVE Brings Them Back

Who are the 266
266,000 adults in Colorado experience serious thoughts of suicide each year. It’s a staggering number—the equivalent populations of the cities of Boulder and Lakewood.
But what’s even more alarming? Half of them won’t seek help due to stigma.
The semicolon in our logo represents a powerful truth: A semicolon is used when an author could have ended a sentence but chose to continue. Those who have dealt with suicide or mental illness recognize the semicolon right away; while many are only now learning about the mental health crisis that is hiding in plain sight.
The 266K campaign exists to remind people that there are people who can and want to help. With the right support, they can continue writing a future they might not see for themselves yet. You can be part of that support. No one knows them better than you do. Together, we can reach them. We can help them choose to continue.
Doctors, Therapists, and Healthworkers
266,000 adults in the U.S. are struggling with mental health every year—but we can’t treat them alone. The need is too great, and the only way to create real change is by lifting up more practices, empowering more providers, and making mental healthcare more accessible.
That’s why we’re sharing everything we’ve learned the tools, strategies, and AI-driven innovations that have helped us grow and thrive—through our Practice Power Workshops.
Whether you need to attract more patients, streamline workflows, or free up more time for care, these workshops and community are designed to help you bring a stronger, more sustainable practice and help more people survive.
