Colorado Daylight Project


Advancing access to behavioral health care services for the deaf and hard of hearing Coloradoans

Led by the Mental Health Center of Denver and the Colorado Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, this project is designed to provide assistance to local community health centers throughout Colorado that wish to enhance the services they can offer to their deaf and hard-of-hearing consumers. This partnership allows community health centers that serve the deaf and hard of hearing to share resources and best practices. Last year, the project provided training and technical assistance to eight behavioral health organizations throughout Colorado.
