The Pavilion Project - a $350,000 campaign to raise money for the most effective and advanced therapeutice programs available to our youth

Mental health issues affect one in every five young peopl at any given time.  An estimated two-thirs of all young people with mental health problems are not getting the help they need (U.S. Department of Health and Human Resources).

Due to budgetary issues and closures, Denver Health remains the only inpatient facility in the city and county of Denver to care for our community's children who are struggling to regain mental health. The new Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Unit, planned to open in the Summer of 2011, will expand the available beds from 10 to 16. But, additional resources are needed to improve treatment outcomes.

In response to this need the Level 1 Society of the Denver Health Foundation has launched The Pavilion Project. 

Your donation to our campaign will help us deliver the most effective and advanced therapeutic programs available to our youth.  Access to appropriate and proven treatments help our youth gain the resilience and self-confidence they need to return to their families and schools, and ultimately to lead productive, healthy lives.
