FYI since completing class I have helped a couple people but most importantly with me and my company I have secured a couple new contracts. I am just killing it staying sober and taking it one day at a time. I really appreciate you offering me the class that you did. Thank you very much.

I wanted to express again my gratitude for all the assistance and support your team has provided to me...and I am sure to my other cohorts. I would recommend your program to anyone who asked...and you have my permission to use any of my comments in your promotional materials.

Event Recap: 2026 SAFE Spring Social

The 2026 SAFE Spring Social wrapped last weekend with 240 attendees — our largest community event of the year. Six trained peer specialists worked the floor, two Naloxone kits were distributed, and a record number of attendees signed up for our newsletter and event-interest list. Highlights: Coming up Our summer event slate is published on the events page. The next one is the 2026 Mid-Year Donor Roundtable in Denver — open to any contributor at the Bronze tier or higher.

Donor Spotlight: Recurring Giving Q1 2026

Q1 2026 was a milestone quarter for SAFE giving. Recurring donors now fund 38% of our peer-training budget — a structural shift from event-driven fundraising to sustained, predictable program support. To every donor who set up a monthly contribution this quarter: thank you. Predictable funding lets us plan multi-year cohorts, commit to university partnerships, and embed peers at events months in advance instead of week-of.

2026 Peer Cohort Fully Funded Across Five Counties

Our 2026 peer support specialist cohort is fully funded across five Colorado counties: Adams, Denver, Boulder, Weld, and Mesa. 150 spots, all COPA-approved, free for residents 18+. This cohort represents the largest single-year expansion of peer-driven recovery support in the SAFE history. Trained peers will embed at events, on campuses, and in community settings, making sober presence visible where it matters most. Why peer-led? Lived experience is the credential. Peer specialists meet people where they are, not in a clinical office, but at the venue, on the campus quad, in the green room before a show. The 2026 curriculum doubles...
