Good news: we have met our summer fundraising goal!

Earlier this year, a local community group called the “Better Living Through Giving” circle offered matching funds to expand the Circle of Compassion, our monthly giving program.

They matched new donations to the Circle of Compassion 2-to-1 to the tune of $12,000!

We heartily welcome our new Circle of Compassion donors. Big thanks to you and to BLTG for your generosity!

Thank you for joining us for “Making Room.” Ten local youth worked alongside a guest artist and TBP staff to create an immersive art installation, presented in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month on May 8th.



Grit & Growth: Youth Perspectives on the Pandemic

We wanted to hear from teens in their own inspiring and thought-provoking voices. From that came a six-minute video of Jefferson County teens talking about their mental health during COVID.
