How Second Wind Fund Works
The mission of Second Wind Fund is to decrease the incidence of suicide in children and youth by removing the financial and social barriers to treatment.
Submit a referral
A parent, guardian, or any other youth-serving professional may submit an online referral for a youth facing barriers to accessing care.
Get Approved
Once SWF receives a referral, we promptly connect the referral source with a list of local, specialized therapists for the youth to choose from.
Receive Support
We provide navigation assistance, guiding you through the process of connecting with a provider through insurance, or, when qualified, 12 sessions of cost-free therapy.
Crisis Help Lines
Second Wind Fund is not a crisis line. If you or someone you know is in crisis and needs immediate assistance, call 911 request support for a mental health emergency, or contact the following:
The 988 Colorado Mental Health Line is available for free, immediate, human support 24/7/365. Call or text 988, or live chat online at 988colorado.com
LGBTQIA+ youth can contact The Trevor Project by calling 866.488.7386 or texting START to 678-678 for specialized 24/7 crisis services.
