A Mental Health Break

Finding Hope and Getting Unstuck with Jason Hopcus

Vincent A. Lanci/ Jason Hopcus

This week on A Mental Health Break, we're honored to host a guest who has turned profound personal struggle into a mission to heal millions. Jason Hopcus, the founder and CEO of Connection Project, is a pioneering entrepreneur who's using cutting-edge technology to revolutionize access to mental health resources. 

His journey began in 2011 when a personal crisis led him to lose everything. From that moment, Jason transformed his story into a powerful mission to make support radically more accessible, blending his 25 years of business leadership with a deeply personal understanding of what it means to feel lost.

Jason’s work is a masterclass in turning empathy into action. As the President of NAMI Arapahoe/Douglas Counties, he's reached over 7 million people through strategic media campaigns, and his podcasts "Get Unstuck. Move Forward with Your Life" and "Nobody's Perfect" have resonated with countless listeners. He's also a bestselling author and a certified life coach who’s now building AI-powered solutions to make mental health support more efficient and human-centered, especially for vulnerable populations across Colorado.

In this powerful episode, Jason will share the moment that led him to shift from personal crisis to becoming a leading mental health advocate. We’ll explore his tech-driven approach to mental health support, discussing how AI makes care more accessible and how he balances technology with the deeply human side of healing. Jason will also offer practical steps for anyone feeling stuck, and he'll reveal the one key takeaway from his book, Get Unstuck and Move Forward with Your Life, that he hopes resonates most with readers. This is an essential conversation for anyone looking for hope and a roadmap to moving forward.
