What is COPA?

COPA is a trade association. We’re composed of treatment, prevention, harm reduction and recovery providers across the state. 

 

We focus on three key areas: Providers, Policy and Workforce Development

Providers

Our Members

COPA is made up of a wealth of experience and knowledge that spans the continuum. From PHPs and inpatient treatment services, to syringe access, behavioral health consultation, prevention education and so much more!

Our Programs

We support our members through opportunities to work together, such as with workgroups in their areas of expertise, or through networking events. 

Check out our biggest event of the year – the Provider Reception! 

Resources and Guidance

Being a provider is tough. We can help. We’ve got guides, resources and information to guide you through the ever-changing landscape of behavioral health and substance use care. 

Policy

Legislative Scorecard

Our top priorities are to protect Colorado’s behavioral health system from destabilizing cuts, preserve the Safety Net Providers, community-based organizations, and rural and frontier providers who anchor access statewide, and ensure the behavioral health workforce can continue delivering critical care to all Coloradans.
