The MHA/PPR serves as the managing partner of a community-wide systems change grant to address the concerns regarding the lack of a complementary and successful means for treating people with the co-occurring disorders of substance abuse and mental health issues. This five-year effort, funded through a grant from a collaboration of Colorado foundations, builds community collaboration among all providers serving this population and focuses on treating those with this disorder as a whole person, addressing not only their addiction and mental health concerns bu also their housing, job, physical health care and other concerns.

Children's Mental Health Matters provides no-cost mental health treatment to under and uninsured children, telephone and web-based information and referral services, and education and advocacy programs including community wide forums, health fairs and workplace seminars, and legislative and individual advocacy. Currently, this program is on hold pending funding.
