Mental Health First Aid Colorado (MHFACO) provides coordinated and strategic leadership, critical infrastructure, and the necessary implementation supports to facilitate the statewide growth of both adult and youth Mental Health First Aid (MHFA).
We are a coalition driven by community and state agencies across Colorado with leadership from the Colorado Behavioral Healthcare Council (CBHC) and support from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
The backbone of MHFACO is a growing network of instructors that are trained to encourage public understanding and involvement through teaching the signs and symptoms associated with mental health and substance abuse issues.
