Mental Health Panel Discussion
The League of Women Voters of Larimer County and Touchstone Health Partners are sponsoring a panel discussion to raise community awareness about mental health and substance abuse. Three in 10 Coloradoans need treatment for mental illness or substance abuse yearly. Larimer County averaged one suicide every six days in 2011. A significant barrier to treatment is the stigma attached to mental illness, which is a wide-spread and misunderstood problem that affects us all.

Leadership Through Pride Applications Due
The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Center of Colorado (The Center) is thrilled to announce the launch of Leadership through PRIDE, a leadership program in the Northern Colorado area. This program is for people who want to act as change agents for their community, who want to seize opportunities in order to improve the environment for LGBT people, who want to bring about greater awareness of the LGBT community and build bridges across communities.
The Center will recruit up to four individuals for the leadership program. This is an excellent opportunity for visionary people to learn how to implement their vision and create social change. Participants are required to carry-out a project that directly or indirectly contributes to the well-being of LGBT people in their community and allows them to use their social entrepreneur/leadership skills.
