Many people consider Colorado the “healthy living state,” but the reality is we rank only a few steps above last in access to mental healthcare and 6th in suicides. About 1.8 million residents have self-reported mental health needs and that number may increase as pandemic effects continue to surface.

Moodfuel News is here to help. We're on a mission to increase mental health equity for under-resourced residents.  We offer inclusive, solutions-based mental health news that connects you with information and resources to support you or your loved ones in achieving wellness every day or finding balance during times of mental distress.

Not only are we the only newsroom in Colorado to focus solely on mental health, but we do so from a peer perspective — For people who struggle By people who struggle. The lived experience or trauma-informed approach of our writers guide every interview and article we publish and flow through all the resources we provide.
