Outreach
Tough as a Mother
Tough as a Mother is a collaborative, statewide public awareness campaign designed to help Colorado mothers with dependent children connect to substance use treatment providers in their communities. With your partnership, we can help ensure that women receive the treatment they need to be the strongest mothers possible. Access campaign resources to share in your community.
The initiative is funded by Signal, the Colorado Office of Behavioral Health and the other managed service organizations across the state including Diversus Health, Mental Health Partners and West Slope Casa.
Lift The Label
Lift The Label is a public awareness campaign that strives to remove damaging labels and stigma that prevent those with opioid addiction from seeking effective treatment. All of the individuals featured are Coloradans sharing their personal stories of overcoming the stigma associated with addiction, proving that there is hope for recovery. The campaign was developed by the Colorado Department of Human Services, Office of Behavioral Health and is funded through a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that leads public health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation.
