The Colorado Behavioral Health Administration has announced the launch of its OwnPath Learning Hub, an online resource designed to provide free educational courses for behavioral health professionals, crisis and peer professionals, and interested individuals.
The Learning Hub was created in response to Senate Bill 21-137.
Dannette R. Smith, commissioner of the Behavioral Health Administration, said in a news release that “a highly qualified, well-trained and robust workforce is critical to a thriving behavioral health care system in Colorado. We are thrilled to be introducing this groundbreaking resource that will provide additional support and education to professionals and other communities across the state.”
The Learning Hub courses are intended to help providers expand their knowledge of mental health topics and care techniques. It is designed for a wide spectrum of users, from novice to experienced mental health providers.
Many courses are eligible for continued education credits, providing further incentive for providers in Colorado to participate and continue their behavioral health education.
The Learning Hub is fully compatible with screen readers and other assistive technologies to ensure inclusivity for all users. Feedback mechanisms, including online forms and opportunities within course materials, allow users to provide input on the courses offered, continuously improving the platform's effectiveness.
