The state legislature is appropriating $450 million to help people with mental health and substance use disorders.

Colorado has been struggling with mental health and substance abuse crises for years.

The state has seen a surge in opioid-related deaths, and the number of people with mental illness who are not getting help continues to grow.

Colorado can and must do better when it comes to mental health and substance use.

Colorado needs to continue to invest in prevention and treatment, and we need to make sure that everyone who needs help can get it. 

Colorado is Using Funds to Help with Mental Health and Substance Abuse

The money will be used for grants to increase access to treatment, prevention, and recovery services.

The Consortium announced a partnership with John Narine, author of Leading Workplace Addiction. Together, they are developing the Colorado Recovery-Friendly Workplace Toolkit.

This toolkit will provide businesses with the resources they need to create a recovery-friendly workplace.

The toolkit will include information on the signs and symptoms of addiction, how to create a supportive work environment, and resources for employees in recovery. We believe that this toolkit will be a valuable resource for businesses in Colorado and beyond.

For example, they may have difficulty concentrating or completing tasks, experience mood swings or sudden outbursts of anger, or withdraw from social activities. If you notice any of these signs, it's important to reach out and engage with the employee to see how you can support them.

There are many resources available to help employers address behavioral health issues in the workplace.

By taking the time to learn about these resources and offering support to employees, you can create a healthier and more productive workplace for everyone.
