- Project Bloom
Did you know that in Colorado, children and adolescents make up only one quarter of the state's population, but experience more than one-third of the severe mental health needs?
To address this important issue, the Colorado Children's Campaign is working with a wide range of statewide partners on Project Bloom - an initiative to ensure the mental health and social and emotional well-being of Colorado's young children. The Children's Campaign is directing Project Bloom's social marketing efforts, reaching out to parents and families, child and health care providers and policymakers, to spread the word that mental health and emotional development problems in young children can be recognized and successfully treated.
