In Larimer County, across our communities, we care about each other. We’re committed to building a community where support is always available and everyone has access to the care
they need to thrive. 

Behavioral health has long faced challenges — limited funding and increasing demand — but, together, we can turn challenges into opportunities. Through local funding, collaboration, and a shared commitment to one another, we’re making a difference.

In 2018, 61% of Larimer County voters chose to invest in behavioral health by passing a 20-year, 0.25% sales tax. That means that every time we spend $100, 25 cents goes directly toward strengthening behavioral health services in our community. The tax is in effect until Dec. 31, 2038, and would require renewal to continue our investment in the wellbeing of all who work, play and live here.

BHS invests in three primary funding areas:

• Acute Care facility at Longview Campus - Larimer County is home to a state-of-the-art crisis, mental health, and substance-use services center. Nestled between Fort Collins and Loveland, the Acute Care facility at Larimer County Behavioral Health Services at Longview Campus provides much-needed services to all people of all ages – 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Led by innovators in their respective fields, the Acute Care team takes an integrated approach to caring for each client’s body, mind, and spirit.  Services are provided by SummitStone Health Partners.
• Impact Fund Grant Program - An annual grant program that funds behavioral health services and programs serving Larimer County community members.
• Co-Responder Teams - Agencies across Larimer County, including the Larimer County Sheriff's Office, pair behavioral health clinicians with law enforcement officers to respond to mental health-related 911 calls.
