​
This program, funded by Boulder County American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, recognize that the pandemic disparately impacted the population of mountain and rural communities, those isolated by COVID-19, people with disabilities, older adults, those aging in place or homebound, youth and parents, LGBTQ+, and Latinx.
​
The pandemic showed how social isolation can affect the mental health of not just individual members of a community but how a general feeling can spread throughout the whole community. The mountain region is already isolated by geography, technology, and the “I’m okay” mentality. Engaging folks in the area supports the community and helps with social resiliency. It provides a baseline of knowledge and helps eliminate the stigma around mental health issues.
