I'm genuinely impressed by the devoted dedication that Kelli Hansen and her team give and give and give to this worthwhile cause. I've had the opportunity to see Kelli present to a group on the topic of mental health, and my family has also attended one of BCC Evolution's fabulous fund raising events. Our family has experienced some mental health challenges, so it's always encouraging for me to see Kelli and the BCC Evolution team at work to impact individuals, families, and communities in significant ways!

I’ve worked closely with the founder of BCC Evolution. Her ability to have crucial conversations around mental health and suicide is impressive and fame changing.

She really cares about the well being of people of all ages. We need more people like her who are changing the stigma around mental health.

I have personally witnessed the expansion and continued development Kelli and BCC Evolution has brought to this world. Mental health matters and she and her organization are warriors to the core to accomplish the mission. She has many events and offerings and learnings to help others or even yourself with. My favorite was when I helped with the care packages for the unhomed in our community. I think we put together over 100 packages.

I’ve known Kelli, the founder, when BCC Evolution was just a twinkle in her eye. It’s been a wonderful thing to watch her grow this nonprofit into what it is today. Her dedication to her own personal growth and development is revealed through the way she shows up to develop the business. I’ve helped Kelli with fundraising events such as the annual film festival and gala and offered my coaching services to BCC clients via Mobile Lighthouse NLP Coaching. The Mental Health First Aid classes she offers are necessary and I hope BCC continues to thrive.

BCC Evolution offers essential mental health support with the added benefits that their focus is proactive and educational. Not only do they work with people facing these issues, but also help equip those they love to better understand and assist. They are passionate, kind and focused on making a difference!

I worked hand and hand with Kelli and her team to put together care packages for the homeless in Colorado Springs. Even though we had over 100 care packages to create, it was well organized, effective and fun at the same time. Kelli is passionate and enthusiastic and effective in helping others. I’d highly recommend her and this company to help with your mission or mental health. She was so knowledgeable about so much. I’ve been a volunteer, a donor and a participant.

BCC Evolution is an amazing, and much needed organization educating people about mental health awareness. One of their goals is to teach as many students as possible about mental health first aid. I love that they are focusing on prevention and not only treatment. We are in a mental health crisis in this country and need more people like Kelli and BCC Evolution out there bringing awareness and helping others.

BCC Evolution and my organization have partnered on several occasions to present on mental health and bullying. I was able to participate in a BCC Evolution led training of Youth Mental Health First Aid. Kelli has become an expert at talking about, identifying, and offering hope and awareness about mental health and suicide prevention. The drive and passion of BCC Evolution has helped reach many people and has helped save lives. I'm incredibly grateful for the collaboration and partnership we have fostered.

Bcc is an amazing organization. Kelli has made it her purpose to create the conversation about mental health. In a world where mental health often takes a back seat she has created an organization that focuses on educating others on how to save lives through Mental Health 1st aid. Being a recovering addict and a person with a mental illness that causes extreme suicidal thoughts I understand how nesessary it is to have otbers understand what I experience and how to help me. Kelli herself has saved my life because of her training. She dedicates her life to making sure that people have the tools needed to save people that are suffering. She has little funding and relys on personal fundraising and dontations from trusted resources. She gave up her corporate career to found Bcc in honor of her sister that was lost to a completed suicide. She has no staff and does this all on her own with help from volunteers. She save me and through her work she will most surely save others.

BCC is doing is doing amazing work in bridging the Large Gap we have in Colorado for Mental Health. Colorado ranks 51st in Mental Health, which was absolutely shocking news to me when I learned that. BCC is helping to get people the help they need before its too late. Our goal of getting into 50 schools in Colorado by the end of 2024, is going to help so many kids, parents and educators.

I joined the board of BCC evolution because of its founder Kelly Hansen. Kelly mission of bringing more awareness to the importance of mental health is incredibly important, especially during the difficult times we are currently facing. BCC is spreading awareness and helping destigmatize mental health. Our communities are better off because of the work that BCC is doing. I'm excited to see this organization grow and bring much joy to the world.

I joined this non profit because of the community it served. I lost my dad to suicide in 2015 and mental health awareness is super important as well as how to support others who have lost loved ones as well as those going through self harm mindset. You matter! Reach out!!
