Providing access to life-saving therapy for Colorado youth at risk for suicide.
About us
Second Wind Fund believes that every youth at risk for suicide should have access to the mental health treatment they need. We match children and youth at risk for suicide with licensed therapists in their communities. If a financial or social barrier to treatment is present, we pay for up to 12 sessions of therapy from one of our specialized network providers. Our unique program helps referred youth discover hope and healing in their lives. The mission of Second Wind Fund is to decrease the incidence of suicide in children and youth by removing the financial and social barriers to treatment.

Second Wind Fund reposted this
In 2024, suicides among youth ages 10 to 18 in Colorado declined 55% from their peak in 2020, and are now at the lowest level since 2007. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment attributed this hopeful news to the work of these statewide projects and partners: • Sources of Strength • The Colorado Follow-Up Project • Second Wind Fund • The Colorado Gun Shop Project Colorado’s progress shows the deep value of evidence-based, culturally relevant programs that meet young people where they are. The Ortus Foundation continues to advocate for and fund these efforts, particularly in our Intermountain West frontier.

Our hearts are with the youth, families, faculty, and everyone affected by the heartbreaking shooting at Evergreen High School. We stand in solidarity as this community faces pain and ongoing uncertainty. No young person should have to worry about their safety at school. No family should fear the unthinkable when they send their children to learn, grow, and hope. We want to thank the first responders and those providing therapy to the students and faculty who now are working to overcome such trauma.
