Colorado Mental Wellness Network (CMWN)

Denver, Colorado

We are a state-wide, grassroots, 100% peer-run organization that seeks to provide opportunities for individuals to improve the quality of their lives, give back to their communities, and change public perceptions of behavioral health. We do this by providing whole-person wellness education to those who are building a lifestyle of recovery. In order to spread this message further, we also advocate for person-centered care in traditional and non-traditional healthcare settings.

We help those who are living in recovery and wish to give back to their communities by training them to become Peer Support Professionals and Peer Support Supervisors. In fact, we were the first ever peer-run behavioral health organization to provide Peer Support Professional training courses.

Finally, we serve as a voice for individuals with behavioral health conditions and offer hope that recovery is possible for everyone. We advocate for healthcare policy that benefits peers above all others and call attention to legislation that is oppressive, discriminatory, or lacking in evidence. We also openly share our stories of lived experience and recovery to break the silence and defeat stereotypes. Most importantly, we train others to join us in this mission through advocacy workshops.

Put simply, we want to create a wholly well Colorado, one unique person at a time.
