Southwest Colorado Mental Health Center, Inc., dba Axis Health System is a private, nonprofit corporation serving the 5 counties of southwest Colorado. Originally, Southwest Colorado Mental Health Center, Inc. was licensed as a community mental health center over fifty years ago. Subsequent to its initial mission, in the early 1990s the designation and licensure as a substance use disorder treatment provider was obtained.

In 2007, after identifying key limitations in the existing primary care model the strategic decision was made to develop an integrated primary health model of care that includes a continuum of care designed to address behavioral health and physical health care needs of patients in a comprehensive, effective, and team-based approach. In recognition of this transition to an integrated care model, the organization filed a name change and is now doing business as "dba" Axis Health System.

Axis Health System continues to provide a full range of behavioral health services in an integrated fashion in several locations in its region including outpatient services and high acuity residential stabilization services.

Truly integrated primary healthcare services are also now available through Axis Health System at two School- Based Health Center locations and at two new clinic locations in Cortez and Durango, Colorado. These two new clinics are open to the public and are accepting new patients.

Axis Health System opened Cortez Integrated Healthcare in December 2011 with comprehensive, whole-person care. This clinic was awarded Community Health Center status in May 2015 and is partially funded through CHC 330(e) federal grant funds. This clinic's continuum of care includes limited community outreach for the homeless that is focused on substance use.

January 6, 2014, Axis Health System opened La Plata Integrated Healthcare, a federally supported Community Health Center in Durango, Colorado.

The clinic is partially funded through Community Health Center 330(e) and Healthcare for the Homeless (330(h) federal grant dollars. A healthcare program for those experiencing homelessness has been developed and is available through this clinic.

Axis Health System owns and operates two HRSA Community Health Centers (CHC) and, as part of this designation is also a Healthcare for the Homeless Grantee.

The two CHC clinics offer integrated, comprehensive healthcare for the identified populations in need across the identified service area. As part of the federal funding and the continuum of care available through these clinics, healthcare for the homeless services are making a difference in the communities served by these two integrated CHC clinics.

The Colorado Pet Pantry operates a total of 103 pet food banks. We hold 28 "open to the public" pet food banks throughout Colorado. We also hold 75 "mini" pet food banks where we work with other nonprofit groups that assist low-income households.
Our pet food banks are closed if the local school district is closed due to weather. We will update the calendar for the rescheduled pet food bank.
We partner and distribute directly out of "human" food banks because:

1. They have an established relationship with the neighborhood.

2. We want all families in a neighborhood to have the resources to consistently feed their pets, keeping them out of shelters.

3. We can leverage their administrative processes and their buildings.

4. The availability of pet food helps to ensure that the already limited "human" food is reserved for the humans and pets receive balanced meals.

Clients of the pet food bank are eligible to receive pet food from the Colorado Pet Pantry every two months. To receive pet food from Colorado Pet Pantry, clients agree to this statement "I understand that supplemental pet food is provided for my existing family pets only. New pets added after registration will not be served. Supplemental pet food is not intended to cover 100% of needs, clients are eligible every other month. I hereby agree to forever release Colorado Pet Pantry from any and all liabilities in any way related to, or arising from, participation in the pet food bank." All policies are here.

The safety and security of Colorado Pet Pantry's employees, volunteers, and constituents is critical. Colorado Pet Pantry has no tolerance for discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment, violence, threats of violence, bullying, or intimidation by or against any Colorado Pet Pantry employee, volunteer, constituents or other stakeholder. Aggressive behavior will not be tolerated. Examples include physical assault, verbal harassment, abusive language, sexual language, threats, and failure to respond to instructions.

If the client is interested in getting human food and is not a member of the HUMAN food bank, please click the link below for the partner HUMAN food bank to learn their policies and to get directions. Clients can bypass the human food bank to get pet from from the Colorado Pet Pantry at the "Open to the Public" locations.

The schedule below shows our "typical" day of the month at the partner food bank, but there are exceptions. To see the most accurate monthly calendar, please go to our Pet Food Banks Calendar.

If you need emergency pet food to tide you over until the next monthly pet food bank, please fill out this form. We work with area partners to make this program possible.

Once you turn 25 if you want to stay involved with Inside Out, you are encouraged to pursue an internship, which can also be great preparation for a job, or a great project for academic credit, and a valuable resource if you are applying for scholarships. You will be able to apply as a volunteer facilitator once you are 25 years old AND have been out of IOYS programs for at least a year. What to do in the meantime? There are some links below that we think are great starting points for young adults wishing to stay active and connected in Colorado Springs' LGBTQIA2+ community.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

March 17, 2020

COVID-19 Mutual Aid Cortez

In this time of growing concern and critical needs, we want to share with you some important efforts happening to ensure that we can collectively take good care of our communities.

A small coalition of organizations, agencies and community members has come together to develop mutual aid networks to support our communities. On the website listed below, you'll find a link to a form people can fill out if they need something, a form for people to fill out if they can offer support, and an option to donate money. Funding is being pooled collectively and will be shared as needs arise. We are working to ensure that people who have specific needs are matched with community members who can help meet those needs. People that don't have internet access or need help filling out the forms can call or text 970.560.0119.

The Good Samaritan Center food pantry and The Sharehouse, both located at 30 N. Beech Street in Cortez, are facilitating emergency food response in conjunction with many food assistance organizations in the wake of COVID-19.
First: we encourage everyone to stay calm, and to reach out to neighbors who need assistance.
Second: visit https://www.montezumafoodcoalition.org/covid19-mutual-aid to sign up for volunteer opportunities, to sign up for food or other assistance, or to make a donation to help us buy food and supplies.

Third: if you have food and/or household supplies that you would like to donate, you can drop them off at The Sharehouse any day between noon-4:00, 30 N. Beech St., Cortez.

For more information:
Kirbi Foster, Good Samaritan director@goodsamaritancortez.org

Welcome to

Allow the horse and human connection to open your mind up for change and growth.

Equine Facilitated Learning

​

When you come to the farm, you'll be observing the horses, partnering with them, and making connections. We'll help guide you through activities based on your goals. What you leave with is often a different perspective and learned skills that you can take with you into your everyday life.

Why horses?

Horses are social animals by nature, just like humans. But, they have the ability to always stay present and take each moment as it comes. When we work with horses, what you see is that they provide immediate non-judgmental feedback. However we show up, they will respond. This type of experiential learning is so powerful because you can make changes on the spot depending on how your horse is responding. What an amazing way to grow!
