Colorado has a behavioral health system that works for some people, but not all. The Behavioral Health Task Force heard from hundreds of Coloradans who are continuing to struggle to access the care they need for themselves or a loved one. Tragically, many of these stories ended up in the death of a loved one. In 2018, Colorado had the seventh-highest suicide rate in the nation. Additionally, 15.3% of Coloradans reported poor mental health in 2019, up from 11.8% in 2017. Many Coloradans report they are not able to access timely care because the services they need are not available in their communities, wait times are too long, or providers can't accommodate their disabilities. The data affirms these concerns: Colorado ranked 29th worst among states by Mental Health America in terms of the prevalence of mental illness and access to care, and close to 95,000 Coloradans with substance use disorder went without treatment in 2019., "September 2020.", "The Behavioral Health Task Force and subcommittees met from July 2019 through August 2020. This document reflects the work completed during that period.", Includes bibliographical references., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed January 2022)
This is a practical, easy-to-follow guide to help you facilitate and lead the AHEAD curriculum. This guide will walk you through how to implement each session. There are a total of 7 sessions with an optional session on grieving. Each session is designed to last about an hour and a half, and is divided into the following sections: introduction, content, activity and reflection. The guide breaks down the goal/objectives of each session, and includes aspects of preparation for the group (such as handouts that will be distributed used during the group). Also included with some sections are handouts described as "homework," for the facilitator to distribute to group members for completion between sessions., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed May 2024)
Conversations about race are sometimes difficult to have, but in order to maximize the collective benefit of antiracist practices, we have to be willing to have conversations that require transparency and courage and instill a sense of hope for those who serve the most vulnerable. This implementation guide is not a prescriptive process, but rather a blueprint to guide your work with families through a race equity lens, which is critical in ensuring that your clients receive services that are culturally responsive and meaningful. This curriculum is designed to promote a reflective and evaluative process, joining trainers and participants in a journey that promotes awareness, growth and change rather than concrete answers., authors Donna L.
