We are so Gr8tful!! The day started with a room full of people that cared about something that we care about. Friends, family and new friends gave up their time and energy to help spread just a little hope and dignity to people on their hardest days. People with tears in their eyes as we shared about Gr8ter’s projects and mission…that means so much to us! Thank you for seeing value in what we do.

We are so grateful to the volunteers and sponsors that helped make this happen. Special thank you to @stonehillchurch for hosting our volunteer day! And huge shoutout and kudos to our director @alexsis.armstrong who worked tirelessly (again) to pull this years sock project off!

Because of you, little packages of love will be finding their way to a lot of people that could use just that!

Christmas is not an easy holiday for many of us. When you have social anxiety and other mental health struggles it can be a time of more stress than joy. Take a few hours to organize your schedule and write a to-do list for the coming weeks. Developing a plan can help you manage feelings and fear of the unknown.

Depression does not always look like sadness. Sadness is only a small part of depression and some may not feel sadness at all. Depression can be easily hidden and missed. A few signs someone may be hiding depression include:
Surface level conversations, where they weren’t before
Avoiding eye contact and other different nonverbals
Noticeable change in appearance from tiredness, weight change, nutrition, etc.
Noticeable change in numbing behaviors (drinking, overworking, etc)
Attempting to keep the conversation from becoming about them.
Canceling plans often and self-isolating.

Noticing these signs and speaking up to help can mean the world of difference for that individual.

Being thankful has many mental health benefits. Studies have shown that people who regularly express gratitude tend to have lower rates of stress, depression and live overall happier lives.

Over the holidays there can be times where it is harder to truly feel grateful. We at Gr8ter are so absolutely grateful for each and every one of you.

Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s the holiday season and for some of us it may be the time where we feel alone. Many organizations have more patients and support needed for individuals as they struggle with their mental health.

The Gr8ter Socks Project is a way we try to support individuals by bringing a smile to their face and warm socks to their feet. Donate today and help bring a little more joy to those around you.

Managing stress and your mental health during the holidays can be complicated. We all see a time that should be happy and joyous but it is so very common to not feel that joy. A few ways to help manage that stress, anxiety and mental health lows include:
Plan ahead: Having a plan in place for all your holiday tasks and activities helps anxiety over sudden changes and helps you manage expectations.
Don’t feel obligated to complete every small thing on your list.
Enjoy other’s company and talk about topics that bring you happiness. It’s okay to set boundaries around discussions and stay away from specific people that don’t help brighten your day.
Be realistic: Don’t worry about trying to create the perfect holiday.
Say NO: If you have too much on your plate it’s okay to say NO.
Stay active: Exercise is a great way to deal with holiday stress and anxiety.
Acknowledge your feelings

International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day is designated by the US Congress as a day when the friends and family of those who have died by suicide can join together for healing and support.

Each loss leaves families grieving but with the continued stigma around suicide and mental illness people don’t reach out for support or help to cope with the tragic loss.

Healing takes time and we are here to help families cope, remember their loved ones, and support others struggling with mental illness.

Don’t fear talking about your struggles. Talking about mental health reduces the stigma, invites support and empowers you. Sharing fosters connection and lets others know they’re not alone.

It was a day of triumphs. It was a day of smiles… and of tears. It was a day of grieving loved ones. A day of overcoming.

It was a day to remember those we’ve lost too soon. And it was a day to celebrate those stepping forward.
It was a day to embrace those that have hearts still hurting. And a day to cheer those on pushing towards their goals. It sure was a day at Top of Tamarack.

We were all there for different reasons. Had different abilities. Different experiences. But we were all connected by one fact. We are all climbing mountains. Literal ones. And figurative ones.

And todays mountain of 3,000 feet might be the toughest thing you’re climbing right now. Or there might be another mountain in your life and this seemed like a piece of cake… Divorce. Grief. Illness. Loss. Abuse. So many mountains that we are ALL climbing.

Today we stepped forward. We took a step for those who can no longer take them. We took a step for ourselves to know that we can. We took a step towards where we want to be.

I will keep stepping. I will keep stepping towards mental health recovery. I will keep stepping towards overcoming my sons Leukemia. I will keep stepping towards ending shame surrounding mental health struggles. I will keep stepping down all the trails that are calling my name. Will you step with me?

Today Gr8ter honors the life of Colten Patrick Boyd. Below is a message from his loved one whose life is forever changed by suicide.
“Dearest Bubba, I know I had you told before that you were a surprise. But fun fact that I never told you? I never wanted to be a mom or to have kids. I had bigger plans or so I thought. In fact I was even taking precautions to make sure that it didn't happen. So imagine my shock when I saw those lines. I don't think I spoke for the next couple of hours. Then I held you for the first time and I knew my life had changed for the better. You put my life onto a better course when you made me a mom. I'd like to think that I taught you so many things but in all honesty you're the one that taught me. You taught me patience and grace, understanding and that magic erasers work better than getting upset about permanent marker on the walls. You taught me how to sew because of all of your ripped clothes and how to get creative with cooking, that having boys means lots of mud and stitches and most importantly you taught me about unconditional love. You made me a mama and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
To say that I miss you, Bubba, is an understatement but I'm so grateful for the short amount of time that I was blessed with you. I couldn't be prouder of the wonderful man you were growing into. Your huge heart, even when you were ornery. Every morning I wake up and there's that moment when I expect your huge smile to say morning mom and you to jump on me. You have the biggest, goofiest, most contagious smile. I wish to hug you just once more, so I can never never let you go. But until that time that we're together again, I'll carry you in my heart, feel you in the sunshine & when I hold a newborn calf, smell you on sweaty horses & saddles and forever know you made me the luckiest mama in the world. Until we can be together again. I love you to the moon and back, forever.” ❤ Mom

Today Gr8ter honors the life of Colten Patrick Boyd. Below is a message from his loved one whose life is forever changed by suicide.
“Dearest Bubba, I know I had you told before that you were a surprise. But fun fact that I never told you? I never wanted to be a mom or to have kids. I had bigger plans or so I thought. In fact I was even taking precautions to make sure that it didn't happen. So imagine my shock when I saw those lines. I don't think I spoke for the next couple of hours. Then I held you for the first time and I knew my life had changed for the better. You put my life onto a better course when you made me a mom. I'd like to think that I taught you so many things but in all honesty you're the one that taught me. You taught me patience and grace, understanding and that magic erasers work better than getting upset about permanent marker on the walls. You taught me how to sew because of all of your ripped clothes and how to get creative with cooking, that having boys means lots of mud and stitches and most importantly you taught me about unconditional love. You made me a mama and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
To say that I miss you, Bubba, is an understatement but I'm so grateful for the short amount of time that I was blessed with you. I couldn't be prouder of the wonderful man you were growing into. Your huge heart, even when you were ornery. Every morning I wake up and there's that moment when I expect your huge smile to say morning mom and you to jump on me. You have the biggest, goofiest, most contagious smile. I wish to hug you just once more, so I can never never let you go. But until that time that we're together again, I'll carry you in my heart, feel you in the sunshine & when I hold a newborn calf, smell you on sweaty horses & saddles and forever know you made me the luckiest mama in the world. Until we can be together again. I love you to the moon and back, forever.” ❤ Mom

September is National Suicide Prevention Month. Today Gr8ter honors the life of Jeffrey Schutz. Below is a message from his loved one whose life is forever changed by suicide.

**
“Jeff, We love you and miss you every day. We are so lucky to have had you in our lives for the time we did. You touched so many lives, even more than you knew. Your love for the trails and spending time with friends and family was when your true joy came out. Spending so many hours on the trails with you I got to hear story after story about your crazy life in New York, how much you loved your mom, brother and sister, everything from your first meeting with your wife to all the years you shared together, how much you loved your kids and how proud you were to be their dad. You shared those stories and a piece of you with everyone who got to spend time with you. Looking back, I know that’s why you connected with so many people and why so many loved you. I felt like we had a special connection, but I later realized you had that same connection with so many people. You made people feel good about themselves, made them realize they were strong, made them feel like they could do things they didn’t think they could. I don’t know how many people you told if you could do it, they could too…and you made us believe it! I think about you and your stories every day I’m out on the trails we spent so much time on.
We talked about your challenges too. I did my best to be there for you, I wish I could go back to those days. I’d find the right words, I’d make sure you knew how much everyone loved you. Thank you for making us all believe in ourselves, for reminding us to be kind to each other and to encourage each other. Thank you for allowing us into your life. ❤” Holly Finch (and your favorite Dirty Soles)

September is National Suicide Prevention month. Today Gr8ter honors the life of Tanner Roule. Below is a message from his loved one whose life is forever changed by suicide.

**
Simply put, if you knew Tanner you loved Tanner. He smiled continuously, embraced everyone that touched his world, brought genuine happiness to the lives of others, and he did it while making you laugh.

Tanner was fortunate to have many wonderful friends that cherished his jovial, yet capable of mischief, nature. His mechanical skills were often useful to others, and he relished those opportunities.

Tanner is missed beyond measure. Forever and always; Son, brother, uncle, grandson and friend.

Your struggles are valid. There are people available to listen and offer support any time of day, any day of the week.

You can call or text 988 for immediate mental health help.

September is National Suicide Prevention Month. Today Gr8ter honors the life of John Robert Hornung. Below is a message from his loved one whose life is forever changed by suicide.

**
“Dear John: You are and will always be missed! A genuine sweet soul…your family adored you. Your friends loved you! Your cousin is running in your honor – 33 years after your departure from this planet. Words cannot express the void and sadness your sudden loss created in so many lives.
Known affectionately as a youngster, Johnny Bob, you grew into such a handsome, kind, intelligent, athletic, gentle “giant,” literally and figuratively. From being the youngest of 4 kids in Pal & Shirley Hornung’s family, to Stan’s best man @ he & Jennifer’s wedding, valedictorian of your class (1988), perfect “little brother” to Whitney & Susie, and beloved by all who knew you. Losing you was a tragedy for the small community of Stratton, CO. Family & friends mourned your death. To this day, hearts are heavy at the early exit of such an incredibly gifted and amazingly loved young man.
But we know Jesus holds you close and we look forward to a day when we can all reunite in heaven! We thank God for your life and pray that others may know that suicide isn’t the answer…hold on! Reach out! Know you are valued and cherished! John, you were/are cherished! We would love to see the man you would have become! The family you would have had! Oh, to have had another day (many days) to help you!
Thank you, Debbie, for caring about John! Thank you, Gr8ter, for raising funds & awareness! May we all open our hearts & eyes to love and embrace life! Blessings & peace to the donors, volunteers, participants, loved ones, and all involved and affected! May this help end the tragic loss of precious lives! Please Lord, may it be so! Amen! ❤” Whitney Oestman

**
Our son Jesse had a way of shining a positive light on any situation. He was kind, considerate, intelligent, and funny. He loved the outdoors and sharing and expanding his knowledge about science and nature. You could find him skiing down the slopes at Tamarack in the winter and challenging himself in a whitewater kayak during the warmer months. He was the light of our life. Nothing compares to the loss of a child. With this memorial fund we hope to keep his memory alive and help others by raising awareness. Jesse was loved and will be missed by so many.

September is National Suicide Prevention Month. Today Gr8ter honors the life of Katherine (Kat) Gerhard. Below is a message from her loved one whose life is forever changed by suicide.

**
“Katherine Gerhard (Kat) lost her life to suicide on April 20, 2020. Kat was a Staff Sergeant in the US Air Force. She was an amazing military member, friend, wife, mother, and daughter who I personally was stationed with for over 7 years. Always missed and loved!”
--Dan Bean
**

On September 30th, Katherine (Kat) Gerhard will be one of our honorees at Top of Tamarack, our mental health awareness and suicide prevention event. Our honorees come from all walks of life. Different paths, different experiences, different interests. And while they all may have lost their lives to suicide, it’s the powerful impact they had that unites them. Their lives had value. Their legacies are important. They had laughs that were contagious and smiles that lit up rooms. They were someone’s friend. They were someone’s family member. They were loved. We pick up the torch they left behind to ensure their powerful flames never go dark. Sharing memories of who they were and why they were so adored allows their light to shine on.

Your struggles are valid. There are people available to listen and offer support any time of day, any day of the week. If you or someone you know is contemplating suicide or self-harm, or struggling with mental health in any way, help is now just three digits away. You can call or text 988 for immediate mental health help. Please know that while the crisis line can be lifesaving for people thinking of suicide or self-harm, you don't need to be at risk to use it. If you are struggling in any way with your mental health, reach out. Help is available.

September is National Suicide Prevention Month. Today Gr8ter honors the life of Bert McKinney. Below is a message from his loved one whose life is forever changed by suicide.

**
“Those that knew him understood he had a mischievous smile, a laugh that was infectious and a heart of gold. He enjoyed football and betting against BSU anytime. Bert was always willing to help others, at times not thinking of his own safety or needs as that was the kind of man he was. He was larger than life, but also struggled with many of life’s challenges more than any of us will ever understand.
Everyone struggles in life from time to time, but one persons struggle can be another person’s last. If you or someone you know struggles with seasonal depression or life’s ups and downs, reach out, listen, be present, it could help brighten even the darkest of days.
❤”
