BREAKDOWN: Launch the Denver Post investigative series.
The Denver Post examines the mental health crisis in “Breakdown: Mental Health in Colorado,” a four-part series in words, photography and video.
Millions of people with serious mental illnesses go without treatment in the United States, and few places feel the problem more than Colorado, where resources for mental health are relatively scarce.
The fallout from this shortage in care is severe: suicides, mass shootings, a huge population of prisoners, the homeless on the streets.
