Boulder County is fortunate to have a 24/7 walk-in mental health crisis clinic at 3180 Airport Road in Boulder operated by Clinica Family Health and Wellness, formerly Mental Health Partners. This facility is open to anyone experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis, regardless of insurance or place of residence. You do not have to be a Clinica patient or client to get help for yourself or a loved one.

“I recognize the profound impact suicide has on our community,” said Coroner Jeff Martin. “By raising awareness of suicide, and sharing resources available to anyone that needs help, I hope to foster understanding, reduce stigma, and encourage those who are struggling with suicidal thoughts to immediately get help.”
