Join us for this important conversation! Following the film, CCPH will host a dynamic panel discussion featuring local mental health experts, community leaders, and representatives from the ski industry. This is an excellent opportunity to delve deeper into the film’s themes, engage in meaningful discussions, and explore the innovative initiatives being implemented in our own communities. We encourage everyone to participate and share their insights as we work together to break down barriers and foster mental well-being. This timely initiative is supported by the El Pomar Foundation which is prioritizing supporting solutions to the mental health crisis that our society is facing today, especially with youth.  “We are honored that the El Pomar Foundation is helping CCPH to bring this important film about mental health in resort communities, along with local conversations, to Chaffee County.  This is a topic that effects everyone, and we hope that the public takes time out of their busy schedules to attend one of these film events and contributes to the dialogue around how to make Chaffee County strong and resilient,” said Kirsten Love, CCPH Behavioral Health Coordinator/Navigator. CCPH identified mental health as a topic priority in its 2021 Community Health Assessment and 2022-2026 Community Health Improvement Plan.  For almost a decade, CCPH has been collaborating with community partners and stakeholders to ensure a robust local mental health system and the need has only grown in recent years. You can join CCPH at the following: Tuesday, October 22nd in Buena Vista at the Ivy Ballroom in the Surf Hotel. Doors open at 5:00pm, film at 5:30pm, panel discussion to follow.
