Target populations include LGBTQ+ community members, people experiencing homelessness, at-risk women, and youth. Services involve overdose prevention education, naloxone distribution, HIV/HCV/STI testing, safer sex/injection supplies, and public communication campaigns. MHBHC has also received a $4 million "Knowledge is Freedom" grant for behavioral health treatment and recovery programs. As a sub-awardee, MHBHC has partnered with the Colorado Department of Human Services and Department of Public Health & Environment on initiatives expanding local behavioral health services, STD prevention workforce, and integrated HIV surveillance and prevention efforts.
