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.
