DCG’s Paula Colorosa Elected as V.P. of Second Wind Fund

Our very own Paula Colorosa recently became the Vice President of Second Wind Fund, Inc (SWF). Second Wind Fund’s mission is to decrease the incidence of adolescent suicide by removing financial and social barriers to treatment for all at-risk youth through its Affiliates.

In 2002, after four Denver area high school teen suicides, members of the Green Mountain Presbyterian Church initiated what would later become the Second Wind Fund. By 2009, the organization expanded forming the Second Wind Fund of Metro Denver, with SWF taking over management of all national programs and affiliates.

In the short time since its inception, over 2,400 kids have helped through the program with none being lost to suicide. Furthermore, the vast majority of youth who received help have reported significant reduction in suicidal thinking after completion of SWF’s program.

On behalf of the whole DCG Family, we share our congratulations to Paula and the organization for the service you provide to the teens in need and the Greater Denver community! To learn more visit Second Wind Fund.
