Core offering

Since 1967, CBHC has served as the statewide membership association for Colorado's nonprofit safety net community providers of mental health and substance use disorder treatment services. The organization delivers legislative advocacy, policy influence, professional development, networking, and administers the Mental Health First Aid Colorado training program (including Youth MHFA, Adult MHFA, and teen MHFA). It also hosts an annual statewide behavioral health conference and operates an Industry Partner Program for member collaboration.

Product overview

The Colorado Behavioral Healthcare Council (CBHC) operates as a membership-based advocacy organization rather than a software product company. Its core offerings include Mental Health First Aid training programs (MHFACO), including Youth and Adult Mental Health First Aid and Teen Mental Health First Aid, along with an annual behavioral health conference.
