Your Hope Center: Hope Through Life’s Challenges
Your Hope Center’s programs and mental health services were designed to offer individuals and families support through life’s twists and turns. Since its beginnings in Eagle County in 2018, Your Hope Center experienced monumental growth and expanded to provide services including a 24/7 clinical support line, mobile crisis response, school-based programs, organizational training, guidance and referrals, and more. In collaboration with its community partners, Your Hope Center‘s vision was to bring stability, resiliency, and hope to those in need. The nonprofit closed at the end of June 2025, and the majority of its services were taken over by Vail Health and Eagle County School District to ensure these essential services continue to be available to the community.
