MONTANA HAS THE HIGHEST SUICIDE RATE (per capita) IN OUR COUNTRY, PARK COUNTY’S AVERAGE SUICIDE RATE IS HIGHER THAN OUR STATE’S.
THAT HAS TO CHANGE.
Make it stand out.
OUR FOUNDER.
OUR FOUNDER, GREG JOHNS HAS BEEN AN OUTDOORSMAN HIS WHOLE LIFE. FALLING IN LOVE WITH PARK COUNTY THE FIRST TIME HE CAME HERE IN 1982, THEN MOVING HERE IN 2017, HE CARES ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY. HE HAS SEEN FIRST HAND THE IMPACT THAT NATURE HAS ON MENTAL HEALTH AND FOUNDED LIVING LIFE FUND WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT GETTING OUTSIDE CAN CHANGE LIVES.
OUR TRIPS.
THE LIVING LIFE FUND ALLOWS TEENS IN PARK COUNTY TO GET OFF THEIR PHONES AND AWAY FROM SCREENS BY FULLY PROVIDING EXPEDITIONS SUCH AS TRIPS TO THE HOT SPRINGS, ICE-FISHING, FLY FISHING AND HIKING, ALL WITH MENTORS.
OUR MISSION.
KNOWING THE ASTRONOMICAL STATISTICS OF SUICIDE RATES OF TEENS IN MONTANA, AND SPECIFICALLY IN PARK COUNTY, OUR MAIN PRIORITY IS HELP BRING OPPORTUNITIES TO GET OUTSIDE TO THESE TEENS THAT WE KNOW WILL DIRECTLY IMPACT THEIR MENTAL HEALTH AND HOPEFULLY LOWER SUICIDE RATES.
