We are curating a calendar of events in May for Mental Health Awareness Month. The idea is to create a resource that community members can use to engage in new learning opportunities, connect with others around the topic of behavioral health, and build their awareness of the many people and organizations collaborating around this work. Submit your organization's event!
"I have applied for a lot of grants during my career and really like the LCBHS grant process and application. It is well organized, clearly explained, easily navigated, and thorough."
"We really appreciate your flexibility in processing the applications and willingness to help along the way. Compared to other grant applications, this collaborative approach makes it so much easier!"
"Being part of a community that chooses to invest in behavioral health through taxpayer dollars is both humbling and empowering. It reflects a shared understanding that behavioral health is foundational to a thriving society, and that early intervention is one of the most effective and cost-efficient ways to foster long-term wellness."
"Being part of a community that invests taxpayer dollars in behavioral health is both rare and deeply meaningful. It signals that Larimer County recognizes mental health as essential to public health and is willing to back that belief with sustained, tangible support. For organizations like the Alliance for Suicide Prevention, this funding isn’t just financial, but a reflection of our shared values, collective responsibility, and trust in our ability to care for one another."
"Funding behavioral health through public dollars reflects a collective commitment to safety, stability, and opportunity for all. It makes recovery not just possible, but visible—and it reminds us that healing isn’t an individual responsibility alone; it’s a shared investment in the kind of community we all want to live in."
"Thanks to the support of Larimer County taxpayers and LCBHS, we have been able to embed trauma-informed practices into every Club, offer hundreds of free one-on-one therapy sessions, run targeted social-emotional learning groups, and more. Being a part of a community that has invested in this work serves as a profound validation of the work we are doing and a reminder that we are not alone in building better futures for the youth of Larimer County."
