We all have mental health. Let's talk about it.
Mental health is something everyone has. It is a state of balance in our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Our mental health affects our ability to relate to others, perform day-to-day tasks, handle stress, and make choices.
Why should we talk about our mental health?
It is important to talk about our mental health with someone we trust. Talking about mental health can help each of us get the support we need to thrive. Speaking about mental health encourages others to do the same.
How can I start a conversation about mental health?
You don’t have to be an expert in mental health to get the conversation started. If you’re willing to be honest, open, and compassionate, you’re on the right track.
Do you need urgent support?
If you or someone you know is in need of support, please contact Colorado Crisis Services at 1-844-493-TALK (8255), text "TALK" to 38255, or go to www.coloradocrisisservices.org to access a live chat available in 17 languages. Help and hope are available any time.
