In February, 2012, Colorado Recovery, in conjunction with the Recovery Trust, will launch a free, secure, facilitated online forum for our clients with serious mental illness and close family members. Participants in the forum will receive support and education and have the opportunity to discuss issues with others with guidance from trained moderators. Once enrolled, you can join the discussion group at any time of the day and contribute to any topic that interests you.

The Recovery Trust

Updated on February 1, 2012
The Recovery Trust, a nonprofit entity, was recently launched in Colorado. Contributions to the Recovery Trust will provide education and support to people with serious mental illness and their family members and will expand vocational opportunities for people with psychiatric disability. Projects of the Trust will include an online forum for education and support for those with, or close to, someone with major mental illness and the development of social firms to provide employment for people with serious mental illness. A social firm is an entity with a dual mission -- to provide a useful product or service, often with a benefit to the larger community, and to employ people with disabilities.


Employee-owned Enterprise

Updated on January 10, 2012
Colorado Recovery is on a path to become an employee-owned enterprise over the next few years. The first step took place on January 1, 2012, when Colorado Recovery switched from being an LLC (limited liability company) to an S Corporation that issues shares and has a governing board elected by the shareholders.
