Gradisar VIA: Marisa Stoller, City Clerk FROM: Larry Atencio, Councilor SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PAYMENT FROM THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCIES ACCOUNT IN THE 2022 GENERAL FUND BUDGET TO COLORADO ARTS & ARTISTS ASSOCIATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $7,500 TO SPONSOR THE “NO ONE HEARS UNLESS YOU SCREAM” SUICIDE PREVENTION PROJECT SUMMARY: Attached for consideration is a request for support of the "No One Hears Unless You Scream” suicide prevention project. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Council sponsored this program for $5,000 in 2021. BACKGROUND: City Council Member Larry Atencio is requesting $7,500 to support the "No One Hears Unless You Scream” suicide prevention project. Funding will go toward script development, community staged readings, and full productions. Suicide is a serious public health problem among all age groups. Among youth, it exacts an enormous toll due to the significant years of potential life lost. In 2020, suicide was the second-leading cause of death among those ages 10-24 and 25-34. “…The play is not about blame, but rather how do we identify a teen in need and where do we get them help AND break the stigma of shame. This very difficult, but extremely necessary conversation, has to continue in this unique peer to peer forum, that simply doesn’t exist anywhere in our community and in most places across the country," says Roxy Pignanelli. Over the past five years, student casts have performed the play for thousands of students and adults, brining safe messaging about mental health awareness and teen suicide prevention. This will bring the play to broader audiences. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Funds in the amount of $7,500 would be paid from the Council Contingencies Account in the 2022 General Fund Budget to Colorado Arts & Artists Association. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: Not Applicable. ALTERNATIVES: City Council could choose not to authorize funding for this association. RECOMMENDATION: This Resolution is at the request of Council Member Larry Atencio.
