Please donate to help us reach our goal of $1,175 in honor of the 1,175 Coloradans lost to suicide in 2017.

The Colorado School of Mines’ chapter of Alpha Phi Omega (APO) believes that when it comes to mental health and suicide prevention “Silence Isn’t Golden”. APO has organized a week of events aimed at uniting the Golden community in conversation to work towards overcoming mental health stigmas and stopping suicide. Events are scheduled throughout the week of November 4-10 in support of Alpha Phi Omega’s National Service Week 2018 “Suicide Prevention in the Community”. The week will culminate with a community-wide suicide prevention awareness and remembrance walk followed by a mental health wellness fair. To learn more about these events please visit www.aponsw.org. 

Alpha Phi Omega is the single most represented co-educational intercollegiate service organization in the United States. With more than 26,000 members on over 375 campuses, APO provides more service on more campuses than any other collegiate service organization. It is the mission of Alpha Phi Omega to prepare campus and community leaders through service. More information about Alpha Phi Omega is available at www.apo.org.

APO has designated the first full week of November as National Service Week (NSW), in order to unify chapters with a national theme, inspire expansion of their service programs and increase the impact they have on the communities they serve. National Service Week for 2018 is November 4-10 with a theme of “Suicide Prevention in the Community”.
