It's a challenging time to navigate the online world, especially for young people. Close to home, we were heartbroken to hear about the Hinks family who lost their daughter Alexandra to su***de. If you haven't read this important story, read at the Marin IJ: https://www.marinij.com/2026/03/25/marin-parents-who-lost-daughter-praise-social-media-verdict/

Even though talking about these topics can be difficult, Buckelew wants to be part of the solution. Buckelew's Su***de Prevention outreach team visits local schools and organizations to provide resources and understanding.

🚵🏼 Trailblazer Award! We are grateful to the Marin Museum of Bicycling for their many years of support at B4B. Their dedication to preserving the past, celebrating the present, and looking to the future of bicycling is an inspiration.

"The Marin Museum of Bicycling is honored to receive this year's Trailblazer award. Thank you! Partnering with Buckelew Programs has always seemed a natural fit. Many visitors to the museum share with us how important cycling is to them personally, even how it has transformed their lives. This always rings true. For so many of us, cycling is what makes us feel best. Riding keeps us healthy, cheers us and brings a sense of freedom into our day. Cycling empowers us, building our confidence in ourselves and what we can do. People who enter a bicycle museum are fascinated to learn how this amazing vehicle has brought joy for over 150 years. They find themselves in a museum of their happy place!" ~ Joe Breeze

Thank you Joe and the Marin Museum of Bicycling! mmbhof.org

Our Story

Buckelew Programs helps people with mental health, addiction, and related behavioral health challenges lead healthier, more independent lives, strengthening families and communities in the process. Founded in 1970, Buckelew Programs opened Marin County’s first 24-hour residential mental health treatment facility, which offered supported housing for six adults. Today, we serve nearly 10,000 people each year throughout Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, and Lake counties, making us the North Bay’s largest provider of community-based mental health and support services and a critical component of the area’s healthcare safety net.
