EVERYONE DESERVES ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS SERVICES.
Coloradans are struggling with their mental health. More than one in four people reported poor mental health in 2023, higher than any other previous year. In fact, Colorado ranks #50 for the prevalence of mental illness, with only Oregon experiencing more widespread mental health challenges. According to the Colorado Equity Compass, the rural mountain and frontier communities in Jefferson and Park Counties struggle with extreme primary care and mental health provider shortages. Mental health is the number one priority in Park County's Public Health Improvement Plan, citing cost, stigma, and availability of mental health appointments as the highest concerns in these communities. Reducing barriers and improving access to mental health services is also the number one priority identified in Jefferson County’s most recent Public Health Improvement Plan. All Access Wellness was born out of the desire to actively improve access to mental health and wellness services for children, families, and individuals residing in rural Jefferson and Park Counties in Colorado.
HOW WE CREATE CHANGE
FUNDING
All Access Wellness directly funds mental health and wellness services for individuals in need through 1:1 sessions with our approved providers or through free community mental health and wellness groups.
REDUCING STIGMA AND IMPROVING ACCESS
All Access Wellness connects and develops relationships between our approved providers and our community, promotes mental health and wellness, and reduces barriers to accessing services. In 2024, All Access Wellness funded the expansion of a children's trauma center into Park County, a move that will improve access to children's mental health services for years to come.
SUPPORTING PROVIDERS
All Access Wellness is committed to developing and supporting a robust network of well-supported mental health and wellness clinicians in our community. With a marked shortage of mental health care providers, All Access Wellness is committed to supporting providers so they can thrive in our community.
All Access Wellness creates equitable community access to integrated wellness services. We envision a thriving rural community in which every individual has lasting access to quality wellness care.
All Access Wellness was founded in 2022 by Sara Peterson, founder of Conifer Counseling in Jefferson County. After collaborating with multiple agencies in the area to improve access to services, Sara began envisioning a non-profit organization that focused solely on behavioral health and wellness along the 285 corridor. She wondered what it would look like to have a collaborative non-profit whose primary focus was behavioral health. From that inspiration, All Access Wellness was founded.
All Access Wellness is led by a diverse group of community members committed to breaking down barriers to accessing mental health and wellness services in Park and Jefferson County. Since its inception, the organization has funded nearly one metal health session for a person in need every single day!
