In 1957, Community Reach Center started in Commerce City, Colorado. It began with a small team of mental health experts from the University of Colorado Medical Center. Ten years later, a big change happened. The government passed the Community Mental Health Act to improve mental health care. This was part of President Kennedy’s plan for better mental health treatment. Our center was the first in our region to get support from this new law. We created a safe place for mental health care that people from other states came to see. Now, 65 years later, we help around 13,000 people every year. We provide care in different locations like clinics, schools, and homes to support our community.
