Après in Action parties with a purpose
The CDC and others report depression (a mental illness) and poverty (an economic condition) are the two most common contributing factors in over 50% of all suicides. Although the majority of media attention and government funding goes to mental health systems the data indicates less than half of those suffering from mental illness seek treatment. At the same time data indicates social and economic factors can contribute to triggering or exacerbating both diagnosed and undiagnosed mental illnesses.
The CDC reports over 200 diagnosable mental illnesses, but social and economic problems are not mental health conditions. Different problems require different expertise and solutions. Après in Action re-imagines traditional après ski / mountain happy hours by creating a local alliance focused on balancing profitability with re-investment in community causes. The goal of Après in Action is to generate sustainable revenues from events and merchandise sales to help expand existing mental health efforts while supporting our complementary philanthropic missions.

Après in Action charity fund split
MOUNTAIN LIFEWORKS focuses complementing NOT competing with charities and government systems by expanding the menu of proven expertise and local options. Unlike traditional charities, social enterprise solutions generate revenues, which are re-invested in community causes and their philanthropic missions year-round. Après in Action generates sustainable revenues that are split between existing mental health programs and new economic intitiatives in line with community causes.
Après in Action balances maximizing benefits to both the local economy and community causes. We invite locals and visitors to party responsibly and with a purpose, because the bigger the party… the bigger the difference! That means as our local partners and sponsors do better so do our community causes… NOT investors or shareholders. As a social enterprise solution we help existing efforts do more while establishing new options and alternatives as needed. That's how inclusion works and what our balanced approach is designed to do.
