Juneteenth marks the date that Federal Troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 - two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed - to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. It is both a celebration and a somber reminder of the persistence of systems of power and oppression. For too long, high-quality behavioral healthcare has been something accessible only to a few. At BHA, we have the privilege of working every day to create a behavioral health system in Colorado that meets the needs of ALL people in our state, no matter their race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, etc. Learn more about BHA resources at bha.colorado.gov.
