01:28 Summer Gathercole; Colorado Department of Human Services

In the spring of 2019, Governor Polis of Colorado established a Task Force to overhaul the behavioral health system. A Blueprint was presented to the Governor this past September, and implementation has begun. Summer has been leading those efforts.

 “We all need to be checking in on each other. It's okay to not be okay -- especially in the unprecedented era of COVID. The Task Force in Colorado recommended that part of the BH system be set up to meet the distinct needs of children and young adults.” Summer Gathercole
