Mesa County Co-response Program secures $301K state funding

April 22, 2025

The Board of Mesa County Commissioners approved an awarded contract between the Colorado Department of Human Services, Behavioral Health Administration, and the Mesa County Co-response Program for $301,000 during their April 22 regular public hearing. 

The Co-response Program sends mental health clinicians alongside Mesa County Sheriff’s deputies to 911 calls involving mental health or substance use crises. This team-based approach helps individuals in crisis receive the support they need, often preventing unnecessary arrests or hospital visits.

The new funding will keep two full-time and one part-time clinician positions in place. These professionals are crucial in ensuring that people in crisis receive timely and appropriate care from trained mental health staff.

Since its launch, the Co-response has improved public safety and expanded access to mental health services in Mesa County.
