There are a variety of mental health services available to Broomfielders.

Crisis Services, Clinical Services, and Additional Supports

  • Dial 9-8-8: The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline connects you with a crisis center in the Lifeline network closest to your location. Your call will be answered by a trained crisis worker who will listen empathetically and without judgment. Your call is confidential and free.
  • Find clinical services, therapies, substance use services, and more at Broomfield.org/MHResources.

Community Initiated Care

  • Have you ever had a friend or neighbor go through a mental or behavioral health crisis and you weren’t sure how to respond? Through training, each of us can feel empowered to recognize behavioral health issues in a friend, a neighbor, or a family member and take helpful action in the moment. Sign up for these free trainings as an individual or as an organization at Broomfield.org/CIC.

Broomfield Co-Responders (BCORE)

  • The Broomfield Police Department implemented Broomfield’s Co-Responder program, BCORE, in 2018. BCORE is designed to provide people in crisis with appropriate mental health services. When someone calls the police, an officer does an assessment to determine if a clinician should respond to the call as well. The BCORE program answers around 80 calls per month to support the mental wellbeing of residents. Learn more about BCORE.
