KKCO11 News: Governor Polis has proclaimed September 8 as 988 Colorado mental health line day.
988 Colorado is the state’s primary crisis and mental health line. It is completely free and easily accessible 24/7.
This comes at a particularly special time, as September is national suicide prevention month.
“It’s huge, everyone recognizing the importance of mental health and being vulnerable and saying, ‘Hey, I need help.’ Getting that support from the Governor and lawmakers, it’s exciting,” said Gordon Coombes, 988 Colorado director.
988 is completely confidential. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, sad, or anxious, call and speak to a trained professional and get the support you need.
