The Mental Wellness Program is a statewide program of Spark the Change Colorado that provides free, short term counseling services to individuals, couples, and families who encounter barriers to accessing treatment. Barriers may include being uninsured, unable to find an appropriate/available clinician through other avenues of care (lengthy waitlist times, etc.), unable to afford treatment, or unable to afford insurance co-pays or deductibles. Each year, the program connects over 2,500 individuals to free counseling and mental health services in their communities. Services are provided through two models: Private Practice Model and Host Site Model.
