Harvard Business Review conducted research, and they found that 85% of employees feel their wellbeing has declined since the COVID-19 pandemic began. CDC also stated that communities of color are impacted disproportionately. Another research by Thrive Global shows that entrepreneurs are 50% more likely to report mental health conditions, with twice the chance of suffering from depression.

These numbers pushed the city to openly discuss the matter. This event is a part of the #ForFortCollins program, which was created to help the community to come back stronger due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Click here for more information.
