Creating Mentally Healthy Workplaces Across the Pikes Peak Region
What is the Pikes Peak Rising Business Collective?
The Pikes Peak Rising Business Collective is a growing coalition of local employers committed to promoting mental health and suicide prevention in the workplace.
By taking simple, meaningful actions – like sharing the 988 Colorado Mental Health Line, supporting mental health trainings, and fostering an environment where mental health can be openly discussed – members of the Collective are helping to build a more resilient and connected community.
“A thriving community begins with mentally healthy workplaces – and we’re proud to lead the way.”
