Thank You!
To inspire hope, improve lives, and strengthen our community by providing mental health and related solutions for individuals and families.
In 1958, a small group of community leaders recognized the need for mental health services for the residents of Jefferson, Gilpin, and Clear Creek counties. With just a few thousand dollars, they opened a mental health clinic in the basement of the Jefferson County Courthouse. This was an innovative venture in a world where 75% of those diagnosed with a mental illness were sent to hospitals, and those remaining were kept in their homes as embarrassing family secrets.
Since its humble beginnings, Jefferson Center has grown to over 800 employees and has expanded the variety of programs offered. Services are now provided at over 23 clinics, 40 schools, and in nursing homes, senior centers, primary care offices, and other community locations.
