In 2024, Colorado became the first state in the nation to pass a law that protects youth from the negative mental health impacts of social media. Big social media came back to fight us with a big lawsuit to stop the implementation of the protections we passed.

This morning, Holly Grosshans from @CommonSense joined @Rossputin on @KOAColorado to talk more about the lawsuit and why this law is a common-sense solution to a growing crisis for Colorado's children. LISTEN HERE: https://t.co/ya70ljimYR

Not only can I handle myself at the highest court in the land, I can still hit my jump shot on the basketball court. I joined @HealthierColo on a basketball court to talk hoops, youth mental health, and making health care affordable and accessible. https://t.co/GDl0hkbFS9

From our Tribute Gala sponsor, @HealthierColo:

"Healthier Colorado is proud to support Mental Health Colorado as we work in partnership to advocate for and pass meaningful legislation that ensures everyone in our state has access to quality, affordable mental health services. Together this year, we successfully passed Fair Standards in Mental Health Care to help Coloradans receive the doctor-prescribed mental health care they need, when they need it. We look forward to our continued partnership as we fight to improve the mental health of Coloradans in the years to come."
