MHCD Makes a Lasting Impression

Every person we serve has access to our full range of services. That’s why our recovery rates are over 70 percent. Recovery means many things to many people but to us it means a person with a mental health problem is living a healthy, productive life.

Within the Mental Health Center of Denver programs and services are coordinated so that a person can move from homelessness into treatment, find a doctor, a therapist, a place to live, and go back to work or to school. MHCD is far ahead of other mental health centers in measuring recovery outcomes. We developed reliable measurement tools to indicate the appropriate levels of service for each person. We also track the person’s progress in recovery from multiple perspectives. These tools tell us that at least 85% of our consumers are maintaining or improving their levels of recovery and getting healthier. More . . .

Having A Positive Impact On Our Kids

This year MHCD enhanced its community- based child and family services to promote healthier social and emotional development of our community’s children, youth and families. 

One in five youth is affected by emotional disorders severe enough to keep them from learning or developing properly. They may have been a victim of or witnessed an assault or been exposed to violence. Left untreated, such exposure can cause significant physical or emotional harm and have a serious impact on a child’s overall health and development, often leading to more severe mental health problems as well as grave personal and social consequences later in life.

Recovery is at the very heart and soul of our work at the Mental Health Center of Denver

We believe people can, and do, recover from mental illness. We are recognized nationally for our successful, ground-breaking approach to mental health treatment. Here our consumers are involved in shaping their own recovery and given the chance to regain control of their lives. See Robert's story.

Recovery takes on many meanings but for most it means appropriate and compassionate treatment for a mental health problem so that the individual can get back to living a happy and productive life. That's what we provide at MHCD ... More about what MHCD believes.
