Call or text 988 if you or someone you know is in crisis and in need of support.

Colorado Crisis Services provides free, confidential and immediate support from trained professionals and peer specialists, available 24/7/365 by calling 844-493-TALK (8255), or texting TALK to 38255. Colorado residents can also seek services in-person at our walk-in centers, regardless of ability to pay. If you don’t know where to begin getting help with a mental health, substance use or emotional concern—for you, or for someone you know—start here.

What to expect:

When you reach out via call or text, you can choose to be connected to a trained professional—or you can choose to speak with a peer specialist who has gone through experiences similar to yours. They will ask you a few questions including asking you to provide your name and pronouns so they know how to refer to you, however you can also choose to remain anonymous. If you are connecting via call, you will be asked for a call back number in case you get disconnected. They will then provide space for you to share your thoughts and listen to you. They will provide immediate support and offer recommendations for your specific situation, and connect you to further resources if needed to ensure you receive continued care.
