Bridges of Colorado


  • Acerca de

    Bridges of Colorado, established by Senate Bill 18-251 places Court Liaisons across Colorado’s 22 judicial districts to serve defendants (referred to as participants) in the criminal justice system who have significant mental health needs. Bridges facilitates collaboration between the criminal justice and mental health systems by partnering with providers, courts, and often families to provide wraparound care for participants. We provide person-centered care, working with participants to identify needs and address barriers, such as mental health, disabilities, housing, or transportation.

    Due to the high success of the program, Bridges was legislatively established as an independent state office within the Judicial Branch in April of 2023. See Bridges of Colorado Senate Bill 23-229 legislation
