Second Wind Fund
Second Wind Fund has built an innovative program in Colorado that matches children and youths, age 19 and younger, who are at risk for suicide and do not have the means or adequate insurance for necessary mental health treatment, with licensed therapists in their local communities or potentially via teletherapy. Sometimes even finding the right provider can be a barrier. For children and teens who have Medicaid, Child Health Plan Plus or private insurance that adequately covers mental health treatment, Second Wind Fund can help narrow down a list of therapists who meet the child or teen’s needs, bypassing confusing health care systems.
