Our Founder

John Davis - A Passion for Park City's Well-being

Park City is more than just a beautiful place to live; it’s a community I deeply care about. That’s why I founded Summit Support: to address the growing mental health challenges facing our friends, families, and neighbours.

After seeing a spike in issues with mental health, I knew I had to do something. So, I sought resources and funding to start a non-profit that would support existing agencies and find real solutions to our problems.

My Vision: A Park City where everyone has access to the mental health resources they need to thrive.
