Latinx Therapist Project CO

From January through June 2026, the Latinx Therapist Project CO executed its most expansive programmatic period to date, anchored by the April launch of its inaugural Mental Health Careers Conference, which sold out Front Range Community College and drew over 110 attendees. Alongside this milestone, LTP launched its Adams County Professional Development Cohort for Spanish-speaking clinicians, awarded three graduate scholarships to Latina women in March, and debuted the Pathways to Practice program offering up to $10,000 in licensure support. Eighteen runners represented Team LTP at the Colfax Marathon in the organization's first year as a charity partner. The period closed with a landmark legislative win: the June 10 passage of HB26-1143, removing Social Security Number barriers for mental health interns — a policy shift LTP's Executive Director helped champion.
