Members of the Agriculture Behavioral Health Working Group used the Monte Vista meeting to map out outreach plans aimed at producers and agricultural workers, particularly Spanish‑speaking communities. Speaker 4 urged the group to seek media engagement and legislative briefings to raise awareness; several members recommended attending local producer meetings and partnering with established advocates.
Speaker 6 announced a Spanish‑language behavioral health conference kickoff in Aurora, scheduled for Saturday, February 7, 10 a.m.–2 p.m., and said a traveling panel would visit Delta, Montrose, Grand Junction and New Mexico. She listed partner organizations including the Jefferson Center for Mental Health, Colorado Community Health Alliance and the National Latino Behavioral Health Association and said Jefferson Center would sponsor Spanish‑to‑English translation for attendees.
Clinton Wilson noted the Monte Vista summit had over 90 registered attendees and described the website resources the group has compiled to centralize statewide behavioral‑health services for agricultural communities. Members discussed outreach tactics that include presence at local agricultural association events, youth programming tied to succession planning, and use of an open online application to recruit additional work group members.
One speaker reported that regional registration in Greeley showed 4,796 Latinos registered for related outreach activities; that figure was presented as a participant‑reported number and has not been independently verified in the meeting transcript.
