Healthier Minds Across the Lifespan Mental Health Colorado is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization working to pass laws, change practices, and build a movement-to create healthier minds across the lifespan for all Coloradans. We develop brains and behaviors at a rapid pace, not fully maturing until as late as our mid-20s.
Preventative care and healthy learning environments are central to ensuring healthy minds and bright futures. Strong, healthy families are vitally important to strong, healthy individuals. Education, childcare, stable housing, meaningful employment, and access to health care are all essential to family well being.
