6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Join the Telluride Mountain Club for a Transformative Evening on Mental Health in the Mountains
Supported by Alpine Bank, Tri-County Health Network, Jagged Edge Mountain Gear, Arc’teryx, San Miguel County Sheriff’s Department and Telluride Rotary Club.
Discover the power of connection and conversation at a special presentation of the film Feel It All and an inspiring on-stage discussion with journalist and former Telluride ski patroller Paddy O’Connell and Drew Petersen, the film’s director and subject. Together, they will share deeply personal stories and practical insights that shine a light on mental health and resilience in our mountain communities.
This isn’t just about awareness—it’s about coming together as a community to understand the unique challenges we face in resort towns and explore ways we can support one another. From the culture of extremes in the mountains to navigating life’s most difficult moments, Paddy and Drew will reflect on their journeys through hardship, recovery, and advocacy. Their conversation will inspire hope, empathy, and actionable change.
Whether you’re here to better understand your own experiences, help a loved one, or gain insight into the trends shaping our region, this event is for everyone who wants to make a difference. The evening will conclude with an open Q&A.
