Behavioral Health Administration Stakeholder Engagement Dashboard
As outlined in HB 21-1097, Colorado is creating a Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) resulting in a statewide vision, strategy and actions to ensure Coloradans have access to behavioral health services. It will be the lead entity, collaborating across state agencies, to ensure there is a transparent and accountable system in place that results in better outcomes for Coloradans. The plan for implementation is underway and is expected to be a multi-year, phased project, including ongoing stakeholder engagement. This dashboard highlights elements of the robust implementation efforts currently underway to build a behavioral health system that works for all Coloradans.

The State of Colorado, in partnership with Health Management Associates, a Colorado-based independent consulting and research firm, have led a robust engagement process to inform the creation of the BHA. This has included interviews, focus groups and open forums with state personnel, stakeholders and consumers from counties all across Colorado. Stakeholder engagement continues to be an essential component of this work. We encourage you to stay informed and involved!
