Crisis Services
If you have a crisis situation, do not hesitate to reach out!
I HAVE A THERAPIST . . .
When you are an active or recent patient of a counselor, your first resource is often your therapist. Call or text (don't e-mail). Go to the THERAPISTS page for contact numbers. If it's more urgent don't hesitate to use other resources shown on this page.
I AM FEELING SUICIDAL . . .
There is help! Depression is a temporary mood, don't let it swallow you up. Make the call now: 1-800-273-TALK (8255), or text “TALK” to 38255. For immediate local help, call 9.1.1.
JUST NEED TO TALK . . .
We all need someone to talk with from time to time, but if you have no one or just want to remain anonymous, the Colorado Crisis Hotline is available day or night (1-844-493-8255, or text "TALK" to 38255; website here).
