The Makarios Project
About Us
Definition:
Makarios - supremely blessed, well off, happy
We are a non-profit serving the Denver metro area. Through our services we want to help others experience a “makarios” kind of life. We provide services to organizations and communities with the end goal of supporting the overall health and well-being of youth.
What we do
We support organizations that interact with young people on a regular basis to include schools, churches, and other youth oriented programs. We provide youth mental health first aid training, the CPR of mental health. We also provide activities and resources that will support young people in developing emotion regulation, self-regulation, resilience, and inspire hope! Contact us to schedule a training.
Our Mission
To equip, educate, and empower communities, youth, and families with the skills, resources, and knowledge necessary to achieve and maintain psychological, emotional, social, and physical well-being.
Our Vision
Through our work we aim to decrease the rate of mental health crisis, suicide, and suicide attempts in Colorado among youth. We believe that our work promotes early intervention and creates the opportunity for healing and long term well-being.
