About the Program

In 2007, Colorado Governor Bill Ritter signed Senate Bill 146, a bill enacted by the Colorado State Legislature to provide behavioral health services for the spouses and dependent children of recently-discharged Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom veterans.

These services are provided through First Choice Counseling Center – serving military families in the Pikes Peak region since 1992. Our clinicians are experienced working with a variety of military service-related and deployment/post-deployment issues and their affects on families.

Families interested in this program should not be receiving care elsewhere for the same problem.

For an appointment or more information, please call (719) 572-6190, Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
