How can Colorado Crisis Services Help?
We are Colorado’s first statewide resource for mental health, substance use or emotional crisis help, information and referrals. We formed as a part of the initiative set forth by Gov. John Hickenlooper, in partnership with the Colorado Department of Human Services, to strengthen Colorado’s mental health system. Our purpose is to provide greater access to mental health services, ensuring Coloradans get the right services in the right locations at the right time.
What kinds of things can I ask about?
Crisis is in the eye of the beholder—so if you aren’t sure how to handle a crisis, or a situation that may lead to a crisis, our services are open to you. You can call about anything in your life that you feel you need help with or want to talk about. Common call topics include: depression, substance use, grief & loss, self injury, suicidal thoughts, bullying, stress, parenting concerns, trauma, drugs & alcohol, relationship problems, family crisis, anxiety, domestic violence, homelessness, disability, concerns for a friend or family member, recovery support, and resource questions.
Focus of TESSA
Domestic Violence is a pattern of abusive behaviors, including threats and/or the use of physical violence, used to establish power and control over another person through fear and intimidation. Domestic Violence may include emotional abuse, verbal abuse, physical abuse, or sexual abuse. Emotional and verbal abuse can be just as debilitating as physical and sexual abuse, instill fear, and firmly place the perpetrator in a role of intimidation and control in the relationship.
