Colorado School Mental Health Support Program (SMHSP) Learning Management System

Welcome to the Colorado School Mental Health Support Program (SMHSP)!

SMHSP is a statewide initiative designed to strengthen mental wellness for students and educators, particularly in rural and underserved schools. Created through Colorado House Bill 24-1406 and funded by the Colorado Behavioral Health Administration (BHA), SMHSP offers training, resources, and hands-on implementation support to help schools build sustainable, trauma-informed mental health systems.

Led by the Trauma-Responsive Implementation and Practice (TRIP) program housed at the Kempe Center, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, in partnership with the University of Denver Butler Institute for Families, and in collaboration with the BHA, SMHSP supports schools in aligning efforts with the Colorado Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework. Our goal is to build inclusive, connected school communities where students and staff can thrive.

All Colorado educators and related professionals can create an account to access the Learning Management System. You will be able to access eLearnings and resources.
