Yesterday we celebrated our Teen Board with an appreciation dinner! All of your hardwork is held in high regard! You all constantly leave us in awe on how powerful you make your voice to be heard and how vulnerable you can get to help others. Nothing but love from us to you 🫶🏽
We were grateful and honored to witness this joint proclamation for Mental Health Awareness Month! This picture reflects a lot of hard work and collaboration, all in support of a well community in Colorado Springs!
I was honored to visit Colorado Springs City Council yesterday with my friends in the Pikes Peak Su***de Prevention Partnership and others for a proclamation recognizing May as Mental Health Awareness Month.
There is more to mental health than taking one's meds and going to therapy. These are important, but social and economic factors, trauma (especially in childhood), and connectedness or lack thereof, also play a major role in our mental health. We must work together, across all levels of government, and in the public and private sectors, to ensure that all can thrive.
‘Here’s another year of laughing together, messing up together and making it together.’
📢 join us in wishing a
🎈🎉VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎂
to our Office Manager, Bella 🥳

Met Kevin Briggs and Kevin Berthia🤩
If you’ve been in one of our QPR trainings, you’ve heard us share their story. When time allows, we also share it during our “What’s On Your Mind?” school presentations.
Whenever we get a chance, we share their story! Great example of what active listening, no judgement and resilience looks like 🫶🏽

Don't miss this opportunity to be inspired and empowered. Join us at our 4th annual Surviving the Storm Gala and experience firsthand the power of Abbey's Mobolade's words. Ticket sales CLOSE TONIGHT! https://pikespeaksu***depreventionpartnership.salsalabs.org/survivingthestormcharitygala2024/index.html?page=register Abbey Mobolade embarked on her journey to Colorado Springs in the summer of 2011, leaving behind her hometown of South Bend, Indiana. Initially drawn to the field of education, she began her career teaching junior high language arts in Indianapolis, Indiana, before redirecting her path to pursue a bachelor's degree in nursing. This transition was motivated by her firsthand experience witnessing the impactful work of nurses during her father's septuple cardiac bypass surgery. Upon settling in Colorado Springs, Abbey delved into critical care at Penrose Main, where she found fulfillment in merging her nursing expertise with her passion for education. She embarked on a journey to further her knowledge, pursuing a Masters in Nursing Education while teaching clinicals for UCCS. This dual role allowed her to synergize her passions and skill sets effectively. Since 2018, Abbey has been an integral part of the nursing department at Pikes Peak State College, where her dedication to teaching and advocacy shines through. She is mom to three young kids and wife to Mayor of Colorado Springs. Her commitment to mental health advocacy is deeply rooted in both personal and professional experiences. Recognizing the importance of holistic well-being, she champions open conversations and the normalization of addressing mental health as an essential component of overall health care.
