FREE RESOURCE: Colorado Address Confidentiality Program (ACP)
Colorado has launched the Colorado Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) which offers protections for reproductive and gender-affirming healthcare workers and their patients. The program offers a legal substitute address and mail forwarding. Government agencies must accept the substitute address in place of your actual home address to protect personal safety. Additional details: https://dcs.colorado.gov/acp
Appointments are available in person throughout the Greater Denver Area or via online therapy statewide. All therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many are also credentialed with other insurance plans.
