Community Support Group
Day – Every Monday
Time – 6-7 pm
Zoom link – https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87515436174
Living in a mountain town provides the rare opportunity to experience nature, participate in a plethora of outdoor activities, and work alongside like-minded people. A lot of times, it’s smiles, rainbows, sunshine, costume-wearing, and powder days. And sometimes, it’s challenging. Affordable housing, healthcare, small-town dynamics, low salaries, high food cost, and more can dampen the spirit and cause anxiety.
Many people find hope and feel better by discussing struggles and problems with others. If the opportunity to talk with others sounds appealing, we encourage you to participate in this free weekly Community Support Group led by Jennie Thomas, a local licensed social worker and counselor. Create greater connections with others facing similar issues!
safeTalk is for Everyone
Make a connection. Help save a life.
safeTALK is a half-day training in suicide alertness. It helps participants recognize a person with thoughts of suicide and connect them with resources who can help them in choosing to live. Participants do not need any formal preparation to attend the training—anyone age 15 or older who wants to make a difference can learn the safeTALK steps.
