Colorado Office of Early Childhood Launches Early Childhood Mental Health Support Line
A new resource from the State of Colorado is being made available to parents, providers, and professionals who work with young children.
The Early Childhood Mental Health Support Line is a no-cost, confidential resource for anyone who cares for children under six. The support line helps families and caregivers to better understand and support the mental and emotional wellbeing of young children in their care.
Trained mental health consultants provide support for parents and professionals so they can support young children's social-emotional development, address behavioral questions or concerns, and connect caregivers to resources in their community.
To connect with an Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant, click here to fill out the online form or call the ECMH Support Line at (833) ECMH411 Monday through Friday 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. to speak directly to a consultant.
This work is responsive to the Colorado Shines Brighter strategy 2.2.2 ECMH Support Line & Teleconsultation.

Free Food Market
Grocery shopping may not always be the most enjoyable chore we do, but to those living in a food insecure home, a trip to the grocery store is the greatest of gifts.
SECORCares serves the residents of Arapahoe, Douglas, and Elbert Counties who are struggling with suburban poverty. Through our free food market, guests are able to shop and put food on their tables, without concern for payment.
Much like a grocery store, our market is stocked with everyday items where our guests can shop and choose the things their families will eat and enjoy. Thanks to our many partners who donate food, we are able to provide our guests with fresh produce, meats, dairy, fresh breads, canned and dry goods, and even desserts. We also have a limited supply of pet food for our furry friends. A typical guest will leave with enough food to last 10-14 days.
Our Market is currently open four days each week, no appointment necessary. If you or someone you know is in need, please stop by during our market hours:
