Description

Purpose/Background

The Boulder County Community Services Department is interested in exploring options related to the provision of mental health trainings to the community using ARPA (America Rescue Plan Act) funds. After a 2-year community engagement process, planning participants identified several recommendations regarding needed programs, services, and trainings that could support communities disproportionally impacted by COVID. The goals of ARPA funding specific to mental health trainings are to:

Provide suicide prevention trainings to service providers and/or community and family members who may be experiencing mental health needs.
Provide outreach and marketing efforts to the general public / community on ways to talk about mental health issues, recognize related risk and protective factors, and identify resources.
Provide training to community/service providers about strength-based approaches around understanding and intervening around mental health needs.
Provide awareness trainings about mental health issues that are designed to reduce the fear and stigma associated with community/family members experiencing mental health struggles.
Develop an information campaign designed to help individuals struggling with mental health issues improve their timely access to mental health services.
