When her daughter turned 3, Lovelace used a behavioral health intervention program offered at their local preschool. Lovelace and her two daughters, who live in Eagle County, are on the state’s Medicaid program, the public health insurance program for low-income and indigent individuals.

State Sen. Jim Beall is angry.
Four times now, he has introduced legislation to better enforce state and federal “parity” laws, which require equal treatment of mental and physical health problems. Four times, that legislation has failed.

California’s parity mandate was signed into law in 1999, and a federal parity law ...

DENVER - A quarter of all mental health emergency room visits in Colorado are now made by children younger than 18, according to a new study.
According to the study by The Center for Improving Value in Health Care - the visits are mostly for major depressive disorder, along with anxiety and panic disorders.
"(It's) not surprising to me that there is a demand for care," said Vincent Atchity, President and CEO of Mental Health Colorado. "That’s in keeping with the overall sense of crisis that we have around mental health around Colorado."

By donating to these Colorado-based organizations—or any of the 3,500-plus participating nonprofits—you’ll not only improve others’ lives, but your own as well.
BY MAYA CHIODO | DECEMBER 4, 2019Humans tend toward altruism. And the impetus behind lending a helping hand or donating some dollars is usually quite simple: It feels good.
