Grow, Sprout, Bloom

As the weather continues to warm and the sunshine last a little longer, we can notice mood shifts in ourselves and others. Contrary to what it would seem, suicide rates are highest in the spring and early summer. There is speculation that the increased sunshine impacts circadian rhythms or even increases energy to act on intrusive thoughts. While the research is still being studied, it is essential that we take care of our mental, behavioral, and emotional needs. The world is a better place with you in it.



MHP offers a variety of suicide prevention trainings. Anyone can save a life. If you're interested in learning more about suicide prevention training, check out our website.

Women's History Month


Women’s History Month is a chance for us to not only recognize the historical impact of women who persevered to enact positive change, but also to reflect upon how we can continue to break down barriers to equity and inclusion today.

Words of the Month

 

“Flowers don’t worry about how they’re going to bloom. They just open up and turn toward the light, and that makes them beautiful.”



Jim Carrey

News & Announcements

MHP is excited to announce UrgentPsych: Mental Health & Substance Use Urgent Care. This new community resource expands MHP’s continuum of acute care by increasing access for individuals with urgent needs to receive in-person treatment with immediacy. UrgentPsych is housed in the same location as MHP’s Walk-In Crisis and Addiction Services Center at 3180 Airport Rd, Boulder, CO, 80301.


Core services provided by UrgentPsych include therapy, psychiatric and medication evaluations, and case management. One does not need to be a current client of MHP to receive services. UrgentPsych can treat all

community members regardless of their payor, insurance coverage (or lack thereof), or language needs. UrgentPsych bridges the gap between emergency situations that require crisis intervention or hospitalization and outpatient services with one’s established care provider. A key objective in the launch of UrgentPsych is to provide increased access to client-centered care.

Substance Use Urgent Care is open 12:00-8:00pm, 7 days per week (excluding holidays).



If you or a loved one are experiencing a crisis, please call or text 988 or visit the 24/7 Walk-In Crisis and Addiction Services Center at 3180 Airport Rd, Boulder, CO, 80301.
