Whatever you’re going through, our crisis counselors and professionally trained peer specialists are here to help right when you need it.

  • Call: 844.493.TALK (8255)
  • Text TALK to 38255
  • Walk-in: 928 12th Street in Greeley
  • Find other Colorado walk-in centers at ColoradoCrisisServices.org

We’re here for you in times of crisis. But if you or a loved one is facing a life-threatening or physical emergency, please call 911 for immediate assistance.

When a person is unable to make decisions or recognize help is needed, a relative, friend, or caregiver may guide them to evaluation and treatment. Emergency treatment can protect a person, or people threatened by that person’s behavior. Although our behavioral health advocates strive to work with the least restrictive intervention, there are times when emergency involuntary treatment can be the gateway to increased wellness.
