The Second Wind Fund's mission is to decrease the incidence of teen suicide by removing financial and social barriers to treatment for at-risk youth.
Second Wind was formed after four teen suicides in a Jefferson County, Colorado high school during the 2001-2002 school year. It is now accessible to every youth 19 and under in the Denver metro area (Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver, Jefferson, and Park counties) and through our affiliates in Boulder, Douglas, El Paso, Mesa, and Teller counties. Referrals are normally made through school counselors, whether at public, private, charter, or choice schools, although youth being home-schooled or no longer attending school are also eligible.
