“Well, I think people of all ages are facing increased pressure and stress from a lot of causes, especially coming out of the pandemic. In Colorado, we have an I Matter program that provides free counseling sessions for every student in our schools. And we've had over 51,000 sessions with young people, who often don't know where to turn and don't know how to access the professional help they need to avoid depression, anxiety, risk of self-harm. We think it's helping, but the need is great to make sure that people of all ages have access to the mental health support services they need to thrive.”
