Examples of SOC programs in Colorado:

Colorado Systems of Care Collaborative.  The goal of the SOC Collaborative is to provide state of the art information and strategies to communities and policy makers so that children and their families receive seamless, effective services.

Colorado Cornerstone Initiative.  The Initiative addresses the needs of youth with serious emotional disturbance involved or at-risk of involvement, with juvenile justice and their families in Clear Creek, Denver, Gilpin and Jefferson Counties.

Project Bloom.  The project seeks to develop a system of care for early childhood mental health in Aurora, El Paso, Freemont, and Mesa.  It also includes a Blue Ribbon Policy Council interested in statewide policy change to support the early childhood system.
