Mile High Behavioral Healthcare

A nonprofit organization

Since 1960, Mile High Behavioral Healthcare has empowered individuals to shape healthy, viable, complete lives. Our care is vital to those on the fringes of our community—individuals struggling to hold on and move forward. For high-risk, high-need individuals, there are significant barriers to services. We are there for them with life-changing care.


Testimonials

"The most important thing I've learned from MHBHC is the difference between having to quit and wanting to quit. Without them, I would not have held my job or achieved good relationships with my family. MHBHC is not just part of my recovery, it will forever be part of my life."

Mission

Background Statement

WE BELIEVE.

WE ARE COMMITTED

TO BUILD AN EQUITABLE COMMUNITY. TOGETHER.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO MAKING MILE HIGH BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE AND THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE EQUITABLE FOR ALL.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental to our core values and beliefs. We are committed to creating an environment where all individuals feel safe, welcomed, valued, heard, and respected. As we witness so many acts of racism, homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia in our communities, this commitment is more important than ever. We stand in solidarity with BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other marginalized communities. We encourage our people to discuss these all-too-prevalent issues with the leadership team, one another, and the MHBHC Employee and Client Equity Council.

We also believe that Colorado is strongest when everyone has a voice and a vote, and we encourage and empower our staff and clients to exercise their right to cast a ballot. We stand against efforts that may prevent anyone from fully participating in our democracy.

We know our words and actions alone are not enough to bring about broader change, so we work to enact change at a higher level through advocacy and education. We empower individuals daily to shape healthy, viable, complete lives and communities. Many challenges lie ahead in Colorado, and we are committed to being part of the solution. Today. For tomorrow.
