8 Resources for People Struggling with
Mental Health in the Denver Area
If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that we need to take care of ourselves. After
a traumatic year that included a global pandemic and a reckoning with
systemic racism, experts in Colorado expect to see an increase in the
number of Coloradans in need of mental health treatment.
“The coronavirus crisis has brought with it all kinds of grief, loneliness,
disengagement, and stress that have disrupted the lives of Coloradans,”
says Vincent Atchity, president, and CEO of Mental Health Colorado, a
mental health advocacy group in Denver. “The challenges of this last year
will likely continue to a ect us for some time to come.”

COVID-19, especially for people with disabilities. The Centers for
