I Matter Mental Health Services
About I Matter
Colorado House Bill 21-1258 established I Matter in 2021 to provide access to mental health and substance use disorder services for youth, and to address needs that may have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. I Matter is open to youth 18 or younger, or 21 years of age or younger if receiving special education services.
In May 2023, the Colorado State Legislature renewed I Matter to provide free therapy for youth through June 30, 2024.
I Matter is managed by the Colorado Behavioral Health Administration. I Matter provides up to six free therapy sessions for youth in Colorado and reimburses participating licensed therapists.
