Community
Engagement
Created by Denver, for Denver, we integrate
the community in every aspect of our work.
Your story matters.
Your needs matter.
Help us build a future where every Denverite can access mental health and substance misuse care that feels safe, inclusive, and real.
We have a continuous community engagement model that informs our strategic funding plan, As outlined by our ordinance. It’s an opportunity for us to share what we’ve learned, check in with what resonates, and adapt to Denver’s changing needs. This ensures that everyone in Denver has the opportunity to see themselves in our work to promote healing and recovery.
2022 Community Check in
2022 Community Check-In
In 2022, Caring for Denver conducted a city-wide engagement effort—a Community Check-In—comprised of targeted conversations with community members and a broad-reaching survey.
We are deeply grateful for all of the community organizations who shared their time, space, and communities with us and to Denver for trusting us with their experiences. We are honored to work with you and committed to continuing the conversation.
