Suicide Prevention
Recognizing that the complex issue of suicide cannot be solved through behavioral health or medical models alone, CHP has been the backbone organization for the Suicide Prevention Collaborative of El Paso County since 2020, and began serving as the fiscal agent for the Teller County Mental Health Alliance in 2022.
