Key People

Alicia Baca

Founder

This is a movement that I feel very strongly about. I started this project while in High School with a group of my peers and we accomplished so much together. After graduation we all felt accomplished with the work we had done in our community and went on to college.
I have been at UNM for a year and a half and at CNM for one semester now. During my time in college, I have witnessed first-hand, my friends and some family go through some struggles. They experience depression, suicidal thoughts and/or suicidal actions. This was scary to me because I had talked about suicide prevention so much and yet the people I cared about were suffering. That is when I decided to create a new program that all people would have access to. With that idea, Bloom was invented. This is still a new project and I encourage you to become part of our movement to help the community when it comes to suicide prevention and awareness.
