DENVER, Colo. — June 3, 2026 — The Colorado Behavioral Healthcare Council (CBHC) today announced that Crossroads’ Turning Points, Inc. has officially joined the association as the first organization admitted under CBHC’s Essential Provider & Safety Net Partner membership category.

The milestone marks a historic moment in the Council’s nearly 60-year history and reflects its ongoing evolution as the statewide voice of Colorado’s behavioral health safety net. Through its Essential Provider & Safety Net Partner membership category, CBHC is bringing together the organizations that communities rely upon to deliver behavioral health services, strengthen local systems of care, and ensure access to treatment and recovery supports across Colorado.

Founded in 1979 and headquartered in Pueblo, Crossroads’ Turning Points provides a broad continuum of behavioral health and substance use disorder services, including outpatient treatment, residential treatment, withdrawal management, recovery support services, prevention programming, competency restoration services, and community-based recovery programs. The organization serves communities across southern Colorado and provides several services with statewide reach.

“For nearly six decades, CBHC has served as the voice of Colorado’s community behavioral health safety net,” said Kara Johnson-Hufford, Chief Executive Officer of CBHC. “Welcoming Crossroads marks more than the addition of a new member organization—it marks the beginning of a new chapter for our association. As Colorado’s behavioral health system continues to evolve, CBHC is bringing together the providers that communities rely upon every day to ensure the safety net remains strong, sustainable, and responsive to local needs. We are thrilled to welcome Charles Davis and the Crossroads team and look forward to the leadership and perspective they will bring to our collective work.”

Crossroads joins CBHC at a pivotal time for Colorado’s behavioral health system, as providers, policymakers, and communities work together to strengthen access to care, modernize financing structures, and advance the long-term sustainability of the behavioral health safety net. The addition of Crossroads reflects CBHC’s commitment to building a strong, provider-led coalition capable of addressing the evolving needs of Colorado communities while advancing policies that support access, quality, and system stability.

“Crossroads has spent more than four decades serving individuals, families, and communities impacted by substance use and mental health challenges,” said Charles Davis, Chief Executive Officer of Crossroads’ Turning Points. “We are proud to join CBHC and strengthen our partnership with providers across Colorado who share our commitment to improving behavioral health outcomes. CBHC has established itself as a respected and influential voice in behavioral health policy, and we look forward to
contributing our experience while helping advance policies and investments that strengthen the safety net and improve access to care for the communities we serve.”
