American Alpine Club's Climbing Grief Fund at International Climbers' Festival
American Alpine Club initiative, the Climbing Grief Fund, came to this years’ International Climbers’ Festival in Lander, WY.
This organization, supported by the American Alpine Club, seeks to not only connect rock climbers and other outdoor enthusiasts the mental health professionals, but also to break down stigma connected to mental illness, grief, and trauma. WRCG owner Becca Meier, MSW, is a clinician for the Climbing Grief Fund, and WRCG guide, Josie McKee, has been an ally and consultant from the beginning. This film follows numerous climbers through their journeys of trauma, grief, and growth while sharing compassion for the outdoors in which we recreate and the people we love.
