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.

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.

For personal Professional Development, you can get credit for each of the online modules. At the end of each of the modules, there is a button that will take you to a short quiz, which will then give them the verification they need for PD.
