Behavioral Health Services Strategic Plan

Building a Healthier Larimer County Together

The Behavioral Health Services 2026-2030 Strategic Plan serves as our compass for the next five years, ensuring that our community remains a place where mental and behavioral health are prioritized. This plan is not just a document; it is a community-driven initiative grounded in the County’s Guiding Principles. Our department is committed to stewarding Larimer County's behavioral health tax dollars in ways that create impacts at all levels - for individuals, neighborhoods, and our countywide community. 

By integrating continuous stakeholder input and building upon vital foundations like the Community Master Plan 2.0, we are committed to creating a system that is as flexible as it is sustainable. We invite you to explore our vision, mission, and the strategic priorities that will guide our investments and partnerships through 2030.

This plan represents our commitment to you. Together, we are building a behavioral health care system that supports every individual in Larimer County.

Our Foundation

Our Core Values

Our work is driven by three key values that ensure we remain accountable to the residents of Larimer County:

• Stewardship: We build trust through the responsible use of behavioral health services tax dollars.

• Partnership: We are better together and work to enhance cross-sector collaboration.

• Community: Our collective efforts lead to shared growth and success that can benefit every individual.

Strategic Priorities for 2026-2030

To turn our vision into reality, we have identified six strategic priorities. These focus areas allow us to maximize the impact of the behavioral health sales-use tax while addressing the most pressing needs of our workforce and infrastructure. There are goals and subgoals for each strategic priority. Check back for future progress updates.
