Report calls for regional action on Western Slope behavioral health
Original: Regional efforts are needed to address longstanding behavioral health challenges on the Western Slope, report shows
A new report says longstanding behavioral health challenges across Colorado's Western Slope require coordinated regional responses rather than fragmented local fixes. The findings point to persistent gaps in mental health and substance use services in the region's rural and mountain communities. Advocates and local officials say collaboration across counties will be needed to expand access to care and retain providers.
Why now: The report's release puts a spotlight on unmet mental health needs in rural Colorado, prompting regional discussion.
