What We Do
At CoLab, we turn big ideas into practical solutions—working side-by-side with communities to improve behavioral health systems for youth and families. Our work spans five key service areas:
Policy and System Design
We collaborate with government and community partners to craft innovative and scalable policy solutions. We use design thinking and collaborative efforts with community leaders to enhance youth wellness and community health.
Research and Evaluation
We are committed to evaluating our own and similar methods of collaborative governance and system design. We collaborate with researchers across the globe studying evidence-based policy, community engaged planning, and codesign methodologies.
Training and Capacity Building
We offer workshops, seminars, and training programs in partnership with local leaders, facilitating their efforts to tackle behavioral health issues at a system level.
Community Engagement and Conversations
We facilitate ongoing dialogue and collaboration with local community leaders to discover transformative solutions.
Advocacy and Awareness
We join with partners to raise awareness about critical behavioral health issues and support efforts addressing systemic policy changes at local and state levels.
