FOR USE IN THE EVERGREEN-FOOTHILLS AREA

Jeffco LWV to discuss final behavioral health report

The League of Women Voters of Colorado recently released its final 2015 report on Colorado’s Behavioral Health System, which will be the topic for the Jeffco LWV’s Evergreen-Foothills area meeting at 9:15 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27, at Highland Rescue Team Ambulance District, 317 S. Lookout Mountain Rd., Golden 80401. The study recommends earlier diagnoses and equitable access to care. Providing integrated services for individuals with both substance and mental disorders is beneficial. Suggestions also include access to increased housing options for the homeless and more psychiatric beds. Call Janet, 303-674-7755 for information. An evening meeting also is available; call 720-254-5741. The report is online at www.lwvcolorado.org/behavioral-health.html.
