Mental Health Colorado

Mental Health Colorado is the state’s leading advocate for the prevention and treatment of mental health and substance use disorders. We are a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization and an affiliate of Mental Health America.

The Board of Mental Health Colorado currently seeks a new President and CEOto take overall responsibility for the organization’s consistent achievement of its mission and financial objectives. 

Mental Health Colorado advocates for the more than one million Coloradans who experience a mental health or substance use disorder each year. We engage policymakers, providers, the public, and the press to promote early intervention, expand access to affordable services, and eradicate stigma and discrimination. Our efforts range from the Capitol to the classroom.

Mental Health Colorado works with state lawmakers, state and local agencies, and mental health providers – among other stakeholders – to remove barriers to care. Our aim: to make Colorado a national leader in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health and substance use disorders. Our policy leadership has won national recognition. We helped secure the passage of landmark legislation requiring mental health parity, the development of a statewide crisis response system, and the formation of a 24/7 counseling and support service.
