DESCRIPTION:Navigating mental health and substance use services is often ch
 allenging for both patients and providers. Colorado&rsquo\;s behavioral he
 alth system is in the midst of a transformational shift. Our previously fr
 agmented system caused delays\, inefficiencies\, and unmet needs\, especia
 lly for underserved populations. In July 2025\, the Colorado Behavioral He
 alth Administration (BHA) launched the Colorado LIFTS Network\, administer
 ed by system partners known as Behavioral Health Administrative Services O
 rganizations (BHASOs). The Colorado LIFTS Network streamlines the provisio
 n of behavioral health safety-net services for individuals who are under- 
 or uninsured.&nbsp\; Presenters will share the history and function of the
  new BHASO model and the Colorado LIFTS network. They will demonstrate how
  providers and community members can navigate this new system and share va

  System Change
UID:RFCALITEM639159337410141979
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Navigating mental health and substance use 
 services is often challenging for both patients and providers. Colorado&rs
 quo\;s behavioral health system is in the midst of a transformational shif
 t. Our previously fragmented system caused delays\, inefficiencies\, and u
 nmet needs\, especially for underserved populations. In July 2025\, the Co
 lorado Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) launched the Colorado LIFTS 
 Network\, administered by system partners known as Behavioral Health Admin
 istrative Services Organizations (BHASOs). The Colorado LIFTS Network stre
 amlines the provision of behavioral health safety-net services for individ
