BHS utilizes community-informed, decision-making to determine grant program targeted projects and areas of focus by relying on the guidance and input of its advisory groups, each representing a valuable perspective on behavioral health in Larimer County.

 

Advisory Group Process

 

Behavioral Health Policy Council (BHPC)

Dedicated to improving the behavioral health of all residents of Larimer County, eight elected officials, six at-large members, and a Commissioner liaison make up the Behavior Health Policy Council. Their work fosters regional coordination, communication, and countywide partnerships to ensure continued community engagement and the equitable distribution of annual grant funds to organizations around the County.

Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
As a subcommittee of the BHPC, professionals in the behavioral health field work together to improve outcomes, identify current gaps in community behavioral health care and develop annual funding recommendations for the BHS Impact Fund Grant Program.

Consumer Advisory Committee (CAC) 
Through lived experience, this subcommittee consists of members who bring their expertise, alongside the TAC, to identify gaps in available care and suggest ways to improve the quality of accessible and affordable care and appropriate services through our grant program funding.
