January Updates Archive – 2023

January Updates Archive – 2023

Let us help you start the new year on a high note!

January is typically the time of resolutions, starting something new, or working on a goal, but sometimes taking on something big just feels overwhelming.  Rather than adding things in, how about focusing on those things that matter most.  We can find guidance from the ancient philosophers about ways to simplify our lives.

Socrates states that joy comes not from doing more, but rather, in doing less.  Rather than adding something you have to do, is there anything you’d like to eliminate from your life or take a break from?  What ways can you “do less” in this coming year?

Immanuel Kant states that we can simplify our joy by focusing primarily on three things:

      1. Someone to love

      2. Something to do

      3. Something to hope for

As you develop your plan for the coming year, is there a way to focus on these areas (rather than taking on too much?)

If you need help developing a plan for the coming year, we’re still here — call or text 303-724-2500.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I sign up?

It depends on what service you want. You can navigate our website for access to services. For anything else, you can send an email to contact the Well-Being Support Line at 303-724-2500 and Our dedicated team will guide you to the right service tailored to your needs and help facilitate the connection for you.

Who provides these services?

This program is through the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus Department of Psychiatry. The programs are developed and overseen by CU faculty members. The treatment services and Well-Being support services are provided by crisis counselors, all of whom are either licensed clinicians or working on completing their Master's Degree in counseling, social work, or psychology. All services are supervised by a licensed mental health provider.

How much does this cost?

All services are free of charge. There is no cost to you.

I live in rural CO and can't come to campus in Aurora - can I still participate?

Yes! All of our services are provided via Telehealth, so there is no need to be in the metro area.

Can I get Professional Development Credit for participation?

Yes, We offer Professional Development for the workshops and online programs.

We are still doing groups and workshops by request. If you have a specific topic or interest area, we're happy to set something up. Just e-mail coloradoeducatorsupport@cuanschutz.edu and we will work with you on time, place, and topic. We will then offer PD certificates at the end of the group/workshop/training.


To earn credits for Professional Development, complete the online modules. After finishing each module, access a brief quiz through the designated button. Successfully completing the quiz will provide the verification necessary for Professional Development credits.

You don't necessarily have to be a classroom teacher; individuals working in various roles within the school or childcare system are eligible. Our support extends to teachers, support staff, administrative staff, mental health professionals, and Early Childhood Educators in public, private, and charter schools throughout the state.

Are all these services confidential?
