Boulder County's Behavioral Health team is opening digital doors to community engagement with a virtual meeting aimed at fostering connections and outlining the progress of mental and behavioral health resources. Residents are invited to partake in the Zoom-hosted discussion on Thursday, December 5, between 4:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., where they will learn about various programs and upcoming enhancements designed to bolster the community's well-being.

According to Boulder County, the session will shine a light on initiatives like WellMind Connection, Boulder County's mental and behavioral health navigation hub, signaling how individuals can anchor themselves to support when storms of the mind unsettle horizons alongside Crisis Assistance and Treatment (CAT), the mobile crisis response team that navigates the troubled waters of immediate need. A discussion on the integration of Clinica Family Health and Wellness with Mental Health Partners, another giant stride in healthcare provision within the county, will be explored as guest speakers present significant service developments, detail how access can be gained, and provide a scaffold of what the future portends.

As obtained by Boulder County, the county's Behavioral Health team has highlighted the significance of these facilities and the County's Behavioral Health Roadmap's implementation updates, all of which will be addressed during the meeting. Interested individuals need not register beforehand; participation is an open gate to all who seek to understand the changing landscape of mental health care in their community.

Poised to accommodate a broader audience, Boulder County guarantees Spanish interpretation during the event in an attempt to ensure no voice goes unheard, and no cry for help echoes without response. Those wishing to attend should be equipped with an internet connection and an appropriate device such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer. It has been made clear by county officials that for those requiring special assistance, contact with the county’s ADA coordinator should be made at 303-441-3525 with a minimum of 72 hours' notice.
