You won't want to miss this...
At Mental Health Colorado, we affirm that every Coloradan is significant in shaping our collective well-being. Just as every puzzle piece contributes to a grand picture; a puzzle made whole; each person’s health is fundamental to our community’s strength and resilience.

Your donation makes our advocacy work possible and reinforces our shared commitment to promoting well-being and achieving accessible health care, supports, and services for all. Please help us pass laws, change practices, and build a movement- to create healthier minds across the lifespan. Your contribution is more than a donation; it’s a testament to your belief that every Coloradan matters.

‘How Jails & Courtrooms Became Colorado’s Mental Health Safety Net — And Why That Isn’t Working’
