Fundamental Chromatic is always here for our Clients, and we take pride because we give amazing Care for our Clients, help Plan Goals, Connect Clients to Resources and Biopsychosocial Health and Care, and find Inspiration to want to change our Lives.

Here is a Free Online Health Screening - you can take the short screening/quiz and once you receive the results which are immediate, you can print the results and/or download the results and share them with your doctor(s). I would recommend especially if you do not have a doctor, that you connect with one and set up an intake, or initial appointment (or both). Here is the link to the Assessments to see if you may have a specific Challenge related to Mental Health Conditions = HERE Mental Health Colorado. Please note: The results are just Guidance and Direction, and no one can receive a Diagnosis unless from a Professional such as a Psychiatrist or Psychologist in Colorado. The test is just to get some insight into your behaviors and possible need for a Professional - Evaluation to seek and receive an official Diagnosis in which you can always receive real - professional - loving - care for. 

Fundamental Chromatic is here to help connect you to any resource that you need, and to provide other Supports as available. And so as long as you let us. We're here for you.

We Create a Healthier Community for All by 

We create a healthier community for all by taking a holistic, collaborative, and equity-driven approach that addresses the many factors influencing health. Here are the key strategies and actions supported by leading organizations and public health experts:

1. Ensuring Equitable Access to Resources

• Healthy Food: Eliminating food deserts and providing affordable, nutritious food options in every community is fundamental. Partnerships with organizations and the use of technology can help transform food access and affordability2.

• Healthcare and Diagnostics: Making diagnostic tests and healthcare services accessible to all, and ensuring diversity in clinical trials, helps address health disparities and promotes health equity5.

• Safe Water and Clean Air: Policies and systems that support access to clean air and water are essential for preventing disease and promoting wellness39.

2. Designing Healthy Environments

• Built Environment: Thoughtful community design—such as creating walkable neighborhoods, safe pathways, parks, and accessible mass transit—encourages physical activity and social connection while improving air quality and safety79.

• Affordable Housing: Ensuring the availability of safe, affordable housing for people of all income levels supports stability and health9.

3. Fostering Social Connection and Inclusion

• Community Hubs: Libraries, community centers, and other hubs play a vital role in reducing social isolation and fostering a sense of belonging. Programs that encourage social connection are linked to improved mental and physical health4.

• Inclusive Workplaces: Creating environments where people feel valued and can bring their whole selves to work supports overall well-being and community health2.

4. Addressing Social Determinants of Health

• Education, Income, and Environment: Health is shaped by factors like education, income, and the physical environment. Nurses, public health professionals, and community leaders work to address these determinants and advocate for policies that support health equity6.

• Health Equity Initiatives: Programs that focus on the needs of marginalized and underserved populations help ensure everyone has a fair opportunity to achieve their best health56.

5. Promoting Community-Led Action

• Collaboration: Partnerships between public health authorities, nonprofits, businesses, and local leaders are crucial for activating policy, systems, and environmental changes that improve health outcomes1310.

• Community Engagement: Listening to and involving community members in planning and decision-making ensures that interventions are relevant and effective48.

6. Supporting Preventive Health and Wellness

• Chronic Disease Prevention: Communities that support healthy choices—like not using tobacco, eating well, and being active—help prevent chronic diseases and complications39.

• Immunizations and Health Education: Public health initiatives that promote immunizations and provide health information empower individuals to make healthy choices3.

What can we do to Improve our Mental Health?

1. Exercise Regularly = balance between strengthening exercises, balance movement exercises, cardio exercises, stretching, and walking. 

2. Get the Right Amount of Sleep = research allows us to sleep between 6 and 8 hours. Try not to sleep more or less as this can influence memory and cognitive challenges, and lots of other health challenges. 

3. Go out in Nature around plants, trees, flowers, water, and in the sun, snow, after the rain, at sunrise and at sunset. 

4. Nurture and promote Social Health by getting in contact and managing friendships and family relationships, as well as with professionals such as our Case and Care Managers, Peer Supports, Counselors, Advocates, and Care Teams to name a few. Plus build and maintain Community Networks and Engagement in our Community. 

5. Redirect Negative Thinking = These skills can be learned in Counseling such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Group Therapies, and One on One Therapies. 

6. Eat Fruits, Veggies, Grains, and all of the Nutritious Food Groups. Get the Vitamins we need to survive, thrive, boost energy, and feel nourished every day and night.
