Strong prevention efforts and supportive environments are making a measurable difference in the lives of Colorado's young people. Emily Fine, school and youth survey manager in the Prevention Services Division at the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, discusses findings from the 2025 Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, highlighting record-low rates of persistent sadness, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts among youth. Fine also explains why protective factors such as trusted adults, family support, and a sense of belonging at school are critical to improving health outcomes, where challenges remain for LGBTQ+ youth, and how Colorado's youth-centered approach to data collection is helping communities make smarter, more responsive public health decisions.
