     Building the Right Place for Kids to Heal                  

Mental health issues affect one in every five young people at any given time, and an estimated two-thirds of young people with mental health problems are not getting the help they need (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services).

As a direct result of the state's budget crisis, Colorado's psychiatric hospital in Fort Logan eliminated all inpatient beds for children and adolescents in December 2009.  And in addition, all other Denver hospitals have closed their inpatient psychiatric services for children.  Denver Health remains the only facility in the city and county of Denver to care for our community's children struggling to regain mental health.
Denver area kids need your help more now than ever.

The addition of Pavilion M - the new Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Unit - on the Denver Health Campus will increase the number of beds available to our children from 10 to 16, but the funding received will only cover construction and basic equipment.  That is why we need your help!

Level One has launched The Pavilion Project - a $350,000 campaign to raise money required to deliver the most effective and advanced therapeutic programs available for our youth - incorporating music, art, outdoor recreation, life-skills training, and a classroom with the latest teaching tools. 

You can help us reach our goal by donating online now.

The Level One Society holds regular  "TOAST! to Denver's Health" events as part of their outreach program to young professionals in the Denver Metro area.  The goals of the events are to raise awareness and financial support for the society's current campaign and to introduce and educate young leadership professionals about the importance of Denver Health to the community in which they live and work.  Denver Health doctors and other health professionals are also invited to share their work and research with attendees.

If you would like to support the "TOAST!  to Denver's Health" events you may do so by donating on line or contacting Karen Kennedy at the Denver Health Foundation (see side panel for more details).
