AgrAbility
The Colorado AgrAbility Project has worked to promote independence and enhance quality of life for agriculture producers in rural Colorado for more than 27 years.
Increasing access to services in Colorado’s rural and agricultural communities
AgrAbility works to expand access to behavioral health and well-being services and rural rehabilitation resources across Colorado.
Supporting the health and resilience of Colorado communities
AgrAbility facilitates a variety of programs, trainings, workshops, and services, including on-site visits.
Partnering with communities, organizations, and policy makers
AgrAbility collaborates with strategic partners to increase behavioral health literacy across the state, address mental health challenges, and promote physical health among agricultural workers. Learn more about our work.
Agricultural Disability Support Services
For the past 27 years, Colorado AgrAbility Project Rehabilitation Specialists have provided on-farm and on-ranch assessments, assistive technology recommendations, and resource connections for individuals experiencing physical limitations due to injury, disability, or age-related issues. Colorado AgrAbility has served over 670 clients with these physical support services.
Colorado Agriculture Addiction and Mental Health Program
AgrAbility co-administers the Colorado Agriculture Addiction and Mental Health Program (CAAMHP) with the Colorado Farm Bureau, ensuring that agricultural populations have access to free therapy services. CAAMHP offers anyone working in agriculture six free, confidential therapy sessions with agriculture-competent licensed behavioral health professionals. The anonymous nature of the service and remote accessibility options help overcome traditional barriers to mental health care in rural communities.
