We are currently seeking proposals for our Youth focus area. This funding supports innovative mental health, trauma, and/or substance misuse supports, which increase youth’s resilience to life stresses and pressures; address mental health and substance misuse early; and/or provides supports for families and allies of youth to better support youth in their healing.
Grants in our Youth priority area provide earlier and more resources to reduce crisis and increase resilience for Denver youth coping with life stressors. Our grantees work to reduce youth harm to self and others through addressing trauma, mental health, and substance misuse; increase youth ability to demonstrate healthy resilience for coping with challenges and stresses in life; and increase awareness and involvement by family and allies in ways that help youth address trauma, mental health, and substance misuse.
