    The Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS) Office of Behavioral Health (OBH) has launched “a program to promote youth emotional and mental health.” Colorado House Bill 21-1258 established this temporary behavioral health services program to provide access to mental health and substance use disorder services for youth, including addressing needs that may have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic.


    The program is open to youth 18 years of age or younger, or 21 years of age or younger if receiving special education services. It provides up to 3 free behavioral health sessions for youth in Colorado and reimburses participating providers, which are licensed clinicians from agencies and independent contractors.


    I Matter Colorado Now Offering At Least Three Free Mental Health Sessions for All Youth - view the information here.
