Mental Health Provider Guide

Off-season can be one of the best times of the year in Crested Butte. It offers a slower pace, longer days and time to reconnect with friends and neighbors. It can also be one of the most trying times in the valley as the weather can be unpredictable (see the forecast for the end of this week), there is too much time to think for some and mental issues can be amplified. For those who have been here a while, you know off-season can be a dangerous time for many of our struggling friends and neighbors. 

For that reason, we asked CB State of Mind to provide us with a list of professional contacts that are here to help. We understand that many of the local therapists are extremely busy, but we provide this list in the hope that if you need some help to get through a tough time up here in the mountains, you can contact someone who can assist you. Think about cutting this out and saving it for a time you might need some references.

CB State of Mind’s Sarah Kramer, who also works for Axis Health, explained that Gunnison Valley Health currently manages the contract for crisis services in the valley, and they have a superb mobile response team. She said that you basically call the state hotline (1-844-493-8255) OR local dispatch to ask for a mobile mental health worker, and they’ll send one to you quickly.
