Health and Wellness


Addressing Health Disparities by Nurturing Healthy Families and Communities.

The Health and Wellness Initiative will primarily focus on goals, Including:

1.       De-stigmatize mental health issues in the African American community. Create new and strengthen existing opportunities to increase behavioral health individually, in the family, community, schools, faith-based organizations, and the workplace.
2.       Establish partnerships and collaborations with centers focused on African American mental and physical health disparities to expand education activities to promote a healthier and whole African American community.
3.       Engage communities of color in policy development and implementation to promote health equity and reduce disparities. Health disparities cannot be addressed without input from the local community level.
4.       Continue to build and broaden culturally competent providers.
5.       Develop and promote strategies and solutions to decode and confront racialized trauma in Colorado’s various policies and systems.
