Children and families throughout Colorado are struggling to get the mental health care they need. We know that change must happen. That's why Partners for Children's Mental Health (PCMH) was created. Since the launch of PCMH in 2017, Colorado has moved from 48th in the country for access to youth mental health care to 42nd.
One in three Colorado high school students report feeling sad or hopeless. For LGBTQ+ youth, the rate increases to two in three students. Safe school environments and strong student-adult relationships can reduce suicide risk, but many schools are challenged by limited resources and confidence to provide appropriate support.
We're committed to meeting the needs of schools across Colorado. In addition to the offerings above, PCMH can provide a more comprehensive, tailored package to equip schools and staff to meet the mental health needs of students. This includes ongoing technical assistance, coaching and consulting. Please send us an email to learn more.
According to the 2021 State of Mental Health in America Report for children and youth specifically, Colorado ranks 42nd in the country for pediatric mental health when analyzing several indicators including the prevalence of children's mental illness and access to care. The Colorado children's mental health crisis is not due to a lack of expertise, dedication or effort aimed at reform and improvement.
This center includes registration for in-person, live online, and on-demand trainings. Many are available at no cost to the participant. These trainings teach strategies and skills, build awareness, and reduce stigma related to mental illness and suicide prevention. Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) is a gatekeeper course focused on reducing suicidal behaviors by providing innovative, practical and proven suicide prevention training.
