chat. We were also able to discuss the topics between ourselves and either agree
or disagree. It opened up dialogue.
•Great to watch with my teen daughter who was just diagnosed with Anxiety
Disorder. Thank you. I loved the other teens speaking about their experiences, my
daughter really related to so many examples.
•Tangible tips and strategies that could be applied immediately. Reassurance on
many practices we already know.

out for help!

•96% of attendees will incorporate one thing they learned into their life
•98% feel confident discussing the topic with their family
COVID-19 Impacts
5
•Describe the changes made to the event due to
the COVID-19 pandemic.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Mountain Youth
maintained large community forums as virtual
events during the spring 2021. Smaller events over
the summer (the women’s group and Move Chat
Parent), were held in person where physical
distancing was possible. Fall 2021 events were
offered as hybrid in-person/virtual to allow
community members to participate in a way they
felt comfortable with, as well as connect with local,
regional, and national presenters in-person or
virtually. Additionally, Mountain Youth received
more referrals for the We Hear U Family program to
support families facing challenges from the
pandemic.
COVID-19 Impacts (slide 2)
6
•What learnings from COVID-19 do you foresee rolling forward into future events.
From what we have learned during the pandemic, Mountain Youth anticipates continuing to
offer hybrid in-person/virtual offerings to ensure families can connect in various ways. From
evaluation results, 71% of fall attendees prefer a combination of virtual and in-person
speakers We will also continue to look at program opportunities that bring behavioral health
learning to new settings and connect mental health with physical and other dimensions of
health.
•What were the biggest challenges cause by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The biggest challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have been staying apprised of
changes in school and public health guidelines, and seeing more attrition of people rsvp-ing
for the in-person event but then not attending. This creates challenges with accurately
coordinating food, childcare and interpretation.
Estimated Attendance Results

Event Strengths & Weaknesses
10
•How did the event/program exceed expectations?
The program exceeded expectations with continued virtual offerings, transitioning to hybrid
in-person/virtual offerings, and adding new programs to meet emerging family needs. The
program continued to increase outreach and offerings for Spanish-speaking family members,
and increased follower’s and follower engagement on the What’s App group.
•What are areas for event/program improvement?
Areas for program improvement include continuing to survey topic needs and wants from
diverse community members, finding ways to reach families during this continued pandemic
time, and continued increasing of Spanish-language program offerings.
•How did this year’s event/program compare to last year?
This year’s program compared to last year showed continued virtual engagement, offered
new types of programs to reach new community members and engage in new ways, and has
maintained a focus on responding to family’s needs, increasing Spanish engagement, and
providing tools and strategies that can be applied now.
Vail Brand Compatibility
The Premier International Mountain Resort Community
11
•How did the event /program support the Vail Brand?
•The program provides actionable items for mental health improvements.
•Family Education is facilitated with integrity, informed by local data and
community needs, and is responsive to evolving family needs.
•Vail supports local families to thrive and our Family Education events complement
this philosophy.
•A healthy community that addresses mental health creates a community where
people want to live, visit and recreate.
•Our bilingual and multi-generational events are leading the way in our region.
Other communities build their programs to be similar to our programs and they
share our recordings, resources, and practices in their community.
Brand Positioning:
•Town of Vail: The Premier International Mountain Resort Community
•Vail Mountain: Like nothing on earth
Community Contribution
12
•How did the event/program impact Vail’s sense of community?
During a time when more people felt isolated, disconnected, and their mental health needs
increased, Mountain Youth’s Family Education programs provided a space for them to connect,
learn tools and strategies to reduce anxiety, stress, depression, and other mental health needs,
and remind them that they are not alone.
While our community continues to face
mental health challenges that have
heightened during the pandemic -
including family stress, lack of
communication, instability, and youth
dysregulation –the programs facilitated by
Mountain Youth are focused on addressing
these needs and building back our sense of
support and sense of community.
Topline Marketing Efforts
13
•What are the top 3 successful marketing tactics, executions or results from your
event/program?
We collaborate with Vail Health and Eagle Valley Behavioral Health to produce marketing
materials and coordinate marketing efforts. Vail Health has provided an in-kind marketing
donation of $21,040, which includes staff time, graphic design, advertisements, and print
materials.
•Mountain Youth boosts Vail Health’s in-kind with social media, letters to the editor and
columns, press releases, a dedicated website page and boosted content, community
outreach, and community calendar posts.
•We rely on school and partner newsletters and their marketing efforts.
•We TRANSLATE materials and provide INTERPRETATION, and market all events to the
What’s App group
•We post all recordings to social media platforms
•Please attach complete marketing plan to end of presentation.
Potential for Growth & Sponsorships/Media Exposure
14
•How do you see the event/program evolving next year?
Mountain Youth anticipates continuing to offer hybrid in-person/virtual events, continuing to
offer Move Chat Parent, and increasing Spanish-language offerings. We will also continue to
assess the needs of families and create programming that is responsive and engaging. We will
work with the Parent Advisory Council to continue to identify ways to evolve the program,
topics, and offerings to continue to motivate families and community members to attend and
participate.
•What sponsors do you plan to target next year?(Including existing and potential sponsors)
We plan to maintain sponsors who include: Eagle Valley Behavioral Health, Vail Health, Eagle
County Schools, Vail Valley Cares, El Pomar Foundation, Towns of Avon, Eagle and Gypsum, and
private donors. We hope to receive support from the Daniels Fund in 2022.
•How will you leverage media exposure and extend the marketing reach next year?
We will continue to collaborate with Vail Health, local schools, and community partners
Sustainability Efforts
15
•What measures were taken at your event/program to support the environmentally-
friendly goals of the Town of Vail?
As most events were held virtually or
had a virtual options, this reduced
vehicle miles travelled, supporting
greenhouse gas emission reduction
goals. Virtual options have also reduced
presenter travel needs. For in-person
events, staff were contentious of
practices that were environmentally
friendly, included limited printing and
waste, recycling options, reusing
materials where possible, utilizing local
vendors, and rotating locations to
reduce vehicle miles travelled.
Sustainability Efforts (slide 2)
16
•How could you improve on sustainability efforts for next year’s event?
The impacts of the pandemic on food preparation and service have unfortunately
created more waste as items are pre-packaged and single use, as well as people
rsvp -ing and not attending. Staff will continue to work with partners to identify
opportunities to improve sustainability efforts.
•What waste reduction methods
were used during your
event/program?
For in-person events that were held on
school campuses, parks or Mountain
Youth offices, recyclable items were
utilized and recycling was available.

All marketing strategies listed below were pursued for each session and throughout 2021. Each event
was marketed at least 1-2 months in advance of the event, or as early as possible for any last-minute
events scheduled.
• Posters and advertisements were designed by Vail Health
• Social Media marketing was utilized and consistent between Mountain Youth and Vail Health
• Vail Daily advertisements will be coordinated by Vail Health
• Mountain Youth maintained a webpage up to date with the most current session information
and upcoming dates
• Mountain Youth worked with school partners to market the series through their newsletters and
school communication channels
• Mountain Youth and Vail Health utilized web-based marketing tools and newsletters to market
the series
• Signs were utilized at school entrances on the night of the event to identify the series at that
location
• At the presentation (virtual and in-person), all supporters were acknowledged and thanked as
well as future series events were marketed
• For any one-time offerings or new programs, Mountain Youth worked directly with partners to
create any marketing collateral and utilize their communication channels as well as Mountain
Youth’s to market the event.
• All recordings of events were posted to Mountain Youth social media platforms and marketed
through organization newsletter and channels
Any changes from planned marketing strategies:
• Radio Interviews were not conducted during the year, as attendees have noted that they usually
found out about the events through schools, newsletters, and word of mouth.
• For in-person events, participants did not take home a collateral piece with helpful highlighted
bullet points that markets the series and share supporter information as the decision was made
to reduce print materials provided at the events

Eat Chat Parent discussion to focus on coping with physical
pain
Battle Mountain's Delaney Gersbach threads the needle against Aspen earlier this month in Edwards. Wednesday’s virtual Eat Chat Parent discussion aims to improve
participants’ understanding of pain and provide strategies to help parents and children understand, manage, and express pain.
Daily file photo
Pain can take a toll not just physically but also emotionally and mentally. Understanding pain and learning how to effectively express
and cope with it can help manage and reduce pain, especially for children, allowing for a faster return to sports, play and regular
activity.
“As parents, your own language and coping strategies for dealing with pain create a foundation for your child’s relationship with pain,”
said Dr. Harlan Austin, the new sports psycholog ist at Vail Health’s Howard Head Sports Medicine. “Here in the valley, we have so
many kids that are in sports and living very active lifestyles and experiencing an injury during those activities is really common. Our
goal is to help parents and their children understand the connection between the body and mind and educate family members to
help them recognize when and how pain might show up in their children’s lives.”
On Wednesday, Austin will join Howard Head Sports Medicine physical therapists Brittney Huntimer and Kristin Thomas in a panel
presentation for the March virtual Eat Chat Parent focusing on “Pain: In uencing our Thoughts and Behaviors.” The event is
presented by Mountain Youth and Vail Health’s Eagle Valley Behavioral Health.

The presentation aims to improve participants’ understanding of pain and provide strategies to help parents and children understand,
manage, and express pain. Thomas, who specializes in pediatric physical therapy, emphasizes that pain is a normal part of life and
that movement is a vital part of managing it.
“Kids experience pain differently than adults. It is a learned response that can be partly in uenced by a parent’s reaction to their
situation,” Thomas said. “Keeping your reaction neutral, asking open-ended questions, and encouraging your child to return to the
activity (if appropriate) they were participating in when the incident occurred are all ways to help mediate the pain response and
decrease the intensity of pain.”
Pain is complex and is in uenced by many factors, including emotions, thoughts and the environment. It is interpreted in the brain
based on the input from the body and is not one physical symptom.
“During the March Eat Chat Parent, we will provide real-life examples of instances where pain might be associated with a situation
and the emotional and mental impact that can have on future experiences,” Huntimer said. “Because of COVID-19, these past 12
months have been stressful for adults and children to navigate, and that stress combined with other social factors can contribute to
pain in different ways.”
“By understanding the concept of pain, we can help mitigate the issue and create lifelong strategies for children to cope with pain,”
Austin said.

Mountain Youth has helped educate nearly 2,000 families in Eag le County in the past year with Eat Chat Parent discussions.
The success of Eat Chat Parent was seen through surveys, with 85% of Eat Chat Parent attendees feeling more con dent discussing
the topics with their families after attending presentations, and 93% felt con dent about applying what they learned to their daily
lives.
Amy Baker, the community education manager for Mountain Youth, wanted to do more to help our community’s families. As a tness
and mindfulness enthusiast, Baker wanted to create a fun family interactive, wellness, and conscious experience that combined
education and movement.
Baker believes that “Families who keep t with each other see their attachment, social development, and emotional management
skills improve. And that exercise improves self-con dence, self-ef cacy, self-acceptance, and self-concept, which are associated with
greater mental health. In addition, when we exercise, we feel more loving, positive, and con dent, which enhances not only our
relationships with friends and community but also family.”
There are many opportunities for tness in our valley. Mountain Youth wants to offer something that anyone, no matter tness level
or experience, could bene t from and can see how it enhances your well-being. From an amazing idea sparked by Baker, Mountain
Youth is excited to introduce Move Chat Parent, a family Interactive tness and mindfulness experience.
Move Chat Parent is a powerful, entertaining, and motivating class for the entire family. This tness class is led by Christian Alvarez,
local owner of FitnessNT in Avon. Alvarez is a community leader, family man, and bilingual tness instructor. He knows rsthand how
healthy habits can help with depression.
The class also has Kala Bettis, outreach operations manager at Eagle Valley Behavioral Health, discussing exercise as a positive tool
for creating connection, trust, reducing anxiety, and growing the mind.
