The Mental Health Center of Denver holds diversity and inclusiveness as an integral part of our values and honors the role that culture plays in people’s lives. We strive to create a supportive, inclusive environment that helps people flourish. We focus on enhancing the well-being of the people we serve – whether it’s helping them gain mental stability, find a home, stay healthy, go to school, find a job, learn new skills or improve relationships. Working together with our partners, we create opportunities for people to overcome challenges and impact communities. Last year, we provided treatment, prevention, outreach and crisis services to more than 60,000 children, families and adults. The Mental Health Center of Denver is the national leader in redefining the way mental health is addressed in our community with these innovative programs:
Dahlia Campus for Health & Well-Being – builds on the strengths of the community and focuses on services identified by neighbors, including a preschool, dental clinic, access to fresh produce and healthy protein, and mental health services.
Emerson St. – supports teens and young adults with activities and services to facilitate connections and enhance their mental health and overall well-being.
Adult Recovery Services – ensures the adults we serve have the right treatment at the right time, including comprehensive wraparound services.
2Succeed – supports adults with education and employment skills to live successful, empowered lives.
Sanderson Apartments – provides permanent supportive housing to individuals caught in a homelessness-jail cycle and is one of the nation’s only buildings using trauma-informed design principles.
