Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office - provides mental health services to current inmates within the Arapahoe County detention system.
1.71 monthly mental health checks per inmate.
The inmate mental health measure continued to achieve the target in Q2 2025. The mental health team contacted 5,189 patients per month throughout the quarter, operating with a full staff which correlates to better and more efficient delivery of services. This can likely be attributed to increased availability of licensed mental health professionals, but also could be due to increased acuity displayed by the inmate-patient population.
The delivery of quality mental health services is a priority to the Arapahoe County Detention Facility, and we will continue to evaluate best practices that will enhance the delivery of services to this high-risk patient population. While the use of tele-psychiatry is still an option, we do have two psychiatry providers that manage medications.
We continue to offer group therapy to the individuals experiencing incarceration at the Arapahoe County Detention Facility which we hope will prove beneficial as the goal of the group therapy is to focus on enhancing coping mechanisms, leading to a healthier incarceration. This effort will also assist in preparing for adversity post-release.
This program benefits Arapahoe County and the State of Colorado by helping the people of Colorado understand the incidence and causes of child fatalities and therefore encourage public action to prevent further child fatalities. Additionally, the program benefits the County and State by identifying services provided by public, private, and nonprofit agencies to children and their families that are designed to prevent, and that are effective in preventing, child fatalities; identifying gaps or deficiencies that may exist in the delivery of services provided by public, private, and nonprofit agencies to children and their families that are designed to prevent child fatalities; and making recommendations for, act as a catalyst for, and implement any changes to laws, rules, and policies that will support the safe and healthy development of the children in this state and prevent future child fatalities. Recommendations made on eligible cases identify methods and activities to promote evidence-based injury and violence prevention strategies that advance health equity.
