The Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health~Colorado Chapter (FFCMH~CC) and JFSN have merged as of October 1, 2007. This merger provides great opportunities to strengthen and reunite our System of Care efforts through increased direct advocacy services in Jefferson County and other counties as we continue to grow. We look forward to providing increased technical assistance to communities throughout Colorado.
The Federation is also happy to welcome Tracy Kraft-Tharp as our new Director of Policy and Development. This new position will provide the Federation with increased opportunities for policy development at the state and local level.
