All Access Wellness (AAW) will continue and enhance the established program for uninsured and underinsured children, youth and families in rural Jefferson and frontier Park counties, which was facilitated with funds from El Pomar foundation from June 2021- November 2022. This program provides financial support for clients who cannot initiate or maintain mental or behavioral health services due to financial barriers such as being uninsured or underinsured (high copays or deductibles). AAW, with contracted staff at Conifer Counseling, recruited more than 20 behavioral health providers in the foothills to participate in this program, called the Wellness Collaborative. AAW created a referral system and developed an invoicing and tracking system. Approved providers applied for funds on behalf of their clients by demonstrating financial need. Providers were expected to create a long-term sustainability plan with their clients such as obtaining benefits or employment, or in successfully completing treatment.
All Access Wellness creates equitable community access to integrated wellness services.
Since Sara established Conifer Counseling in 2012, she has been working closely with multiple local agencies to improve access to mental health services along the 285 corridor, mainly in rural Jefferson and frontier Park counties. Conifer Counseling has provided services for the Boys and Girls Clubs of the High Rockies (BGCHR), Mountain Resource Center (MRC), Evergreen Christian Outreach (EChO), Park County Department of Human Services (DHS), and Family Connections (PFC) to name a few.
In recent years, Sara began envisioning a non-profit organization that focused solely on behavioral health and wellness in this geographic area. While the partnerships and services were strong, our collaborators also focus their efforts on other important causes for our community members like childcare, youth development, food and clothing resources, advocacy, benefits, workforce, etc. What if we had a collaborative non-profit whose primary focus was behavioral health?
From this idea, hours of hard work, and funding from El Pomar Foundation, All Access Wellness (AAW) was developed and obtained 501(c)3 status in 2022.
