Mental Health
Mental health and substance abuse are the most significant health issues plaguing the Roaring Fork Valley. While the need for mental health care is tremendous, the ability for patients and their families to access the care they need is limited. AVMF is responding to this increasing need by examining the mental health care system, reducing barriers to mental health care, and creating new opportunities for people to access high quality mental health care.
