Carey Pickus is a co-founder of Trailhead Parent Support, a nonprofit helping parents of struggling teens and young adults. After losing her 21-year-old son to suicide in 2019, Carey and her husband, Josh, transformed their grief into purpose, becoming advocates and coaches for families facing similar challenges.
Through Trailhead, Carey, Josh, and therapist Bryan Lepinske host weekend retreats in Park City where parents can learn communication and boundary-setting skills in a supportive environment. The retreats also emphasize self-care, compassion and a deeper understanding of what young people experience as they navigate the path to adulthood.
