Mental Health Partners to move its 24/7 Walk-In Crisis Center Friday

BOULDER — Mental Health Partners on Friday will relocate its 24/7 Walk-In Crisis Center and Emergency Psychiatric Service from the Ryan Wellness Center at 1000 Alpine Ave. to 3180 Airport Road in Boulder, where the organization provides detoxification and other substance-use services.

“Co-locating crisis and substance detoxification services provides one access location for those with possible dual diagnosis, or when the primary service need is unclear,” Maigan Oliver, director of Emergency and Intensive Behavioral Health Services, said in a prepared statement.  “The co-location of crisis and substance use services lessens the impact on emergency services and reduces the stress on those in crisis because it reduces the need to move them from one site to another.”

The move was made because the facility on Airport Road is more centrally located in Boulder County and more accessible for service communities to the north and east.

Exploring & expressing grief

Support groups and events, as well as creative therapies and professional counseling, are all ways in which Pathways supports individuals dealing with grief and loss.

“Proximity to the jail also improves access to mental-health services for individuals who are being assisted by law enforcement personnel,” Oliver said.

Mental Health Partners is an independent nonprofit organization formed in 1962 that provides comprehensive behavioral health and wellness services, primarily in Boulder and Broomfield counties. The organization has locations in Boulder, Broomfield and Longmont.
