And the great news it that we raised nearly $26,000! - money that will be used to help us ensure victims of crime and trauma get the support, information and resources they need and deserve.
To our many sponsors, donors and volunteers who made this happen, you deserve gratitude for your invaluable contributions. We are blessed.
For over 20 years, Jefferson Center has been the facilitating agency of the Suicide Prevention Coalition, a community collaboration of stakeholders from Jefferson, Clear Creek, and Gilpin Counties, Colorado, addressing suicide prevention issues in their communities. One of the goals of Jefferson Center’s suicide prevention program is to recruit “gatekeepers” in the community to participate in suicide prevention training classes.
