A partnership with the Colorado
Department of Human Services Mental Health Division.

Childhood Mental Health Action Team as part of Project ECHO.
Crib to Kindergarten and the Behavior Team provide assessment,
screening, specialized interventions and consultation for children
with social and emotional needs. Services under development include

Partners currently include a wide range of organizations

well as the Department of Human Services, Rocky
Mountain Behavioral Health, and the West Central Mental
Health Center.
We currently have an active family support group, a youth advocacy
group , and are interested in engaging new partners from across the
business, civic and faith communities.
