Our Work

Mental Health Colorado drives change to improve well-being for all Coloradans. Through advocacy, community engagement, public policy, and innovative initiatives, we work to expand access to care, end health-based discrimination, and transform how mental health needs and substance use challenges are addressed across the state. Explore our signature efforts to turn experience into action and build healthier minds across the lifespan.

Brain Wave

In Colorado, your story has the power to pass laws, change practices, and build a movement to promote healthier minds across the lifespan. You don’t have to be an expert to be an advocate. You just have to be ready to make a difference.

Course Corrections

In Colorado, as across the U.S., too many people in crisis and vulnerable to crisis are likelier to be criminalized than to be supported in successful recovery from crisis and healthful persistence and integration in the community. Mental Health Colorado’s Course Corrections initiative is working to change that by disentangling mental health and criminal justice. You do not need to be a policy expert to help—your voice can make the difference. 

Community Speaking

Our speakers aren’t just experts—they are the policymakers, advocates, and innovators actively shaping a healthier health landscape for all Coloradans. Invite them to share their frontline insights with your community, school, or workplace.

Legislative Priorities

Legislative advocacy is the primary arena where we engage Brain Wavers to support our efforts to change policy. This type of advocacy refers to the process by which elected officials introduce and pass bills that become law.
