Our state has a historic opportunity to make strategic transformational investments to improve access to care, improve transparency and accountability, and end discrimination.
The state has set aside $450 million for one-time investments in behavioral health from the American Rescue Plan Act for use by December 31, 2026. Read more about the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 here.
The Behavioral Health Transformational Task Force and corresponding subpanels are convening the next couple of months to discuss what investments and policy changes need to be made to transform the behavioral health system in Colorado – this includes both mental health and substance use.
