Fully fund 988 statewide and dedicate a youth-specific text and chat line co-designed with teens. Learn more
I will provide all Coloradans with free healthcare, or at minimum 50 maximum per year per family member (with installment plans for lower-income families). We’ll create a regional pool with surrounding states – Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico – forming a multibillion-dollar fund that creates a powerful healthcare network. Learn more
Partner with rural hospitals and Federally Qualified Health Centers to embed behavioral health into primary care, where rural Coloradans actually go. Learn more
Address the gun side of the youth suicide equation honestly — fund safe-storage programs, expand the Colorado Gun Shop Project, and partner with firearm-owning families on voluntary out-of-home storage during a crisis. Learn more
Build a Western Slope Behavioral Health Hospital — modeled after West Springs in Grand Junction but with significantly expanded inpatient and crisis-stabilization capacity — so kids in Mesa, Delta, Montrose, Garfield, and surrounding counties are not flown to Aurora or sent out of state. Learn more
Fund tele-behavioral health permanently with broadband investments so a kid in Springfield, Colorado can see a licensed counselor without leaving their school. Learn more
