About This Cause
In 1958, a small group of community leaders recognized the need for mental health services for the residents of Jefferson, Gilpin, and Clear Creek counties. With just a few thousand dollars, they opened a mental health clinic in the basement of the Jefferson County Courthouse. This was an innovative venture in a world where 75% of those diagnosed with a mental illness were sent to hospitals, and those remaining were kept in their homes as embarrassing family secrets. Since its humble beginnings, Jefferson Center has grown to nearly 700 employees and has expanded the variety of programs offered. Services are now provided at over 23 clinics, 40 schools, and in nursing homes, senior centers, primary care offices, and other community locations. Jefferson Center offers a full spectrum of comprehensive mental health services including: • Individual, group, and family outpatient counseling • Withdrawal management (detox) • Substance use treatment • 24-hour emergency and crisis response • Integrated healthcare • Suicide prevention • Veteran services • Peer-to-peer services • Senior services, outreach, and peer counseling • Psychiatric and medication services • Early intervention services • Hospital alternative programs • Vocational assistance and skills training • Transitional and supported employment • School-based services • Advocacy and benefits • Promotora program • Residential programs • Respite care • Same-day access • Wellness services
