[1]COVID-19 Crisis Takes A Toll On Americans' Mental Health
I’ve heard from thousands of Coloradans
over the last two months, their lives turned upside down by the pandemic.
My team and I have been connecting them with resources.

The text I got yesterday troubled me the most. It came from Linda in
Aurora:

I reached out to Rocky Mountain Crisis Partners, a team of mental health
professionals and peer specialists who staff Colorado’s 24/7 crisis and
support line. They gave Linda the counseling she needed right away (we’re
staying in touch).

When it comes to mental health care, a phone call is just the beginning.
We must transform the system itself—especially now, as more and more
Americans find themselves at risk.

That’s a task not only for lawmakers but for all of us. It means investing
in prevention and early intervention, integrating mental health and
primary care, and ending the use of prisons and jails as warehouses for
those who face a mental health or substance use disorder.

Here’s what you can do today: if you or someone you know needs help,
please call [ tel:+18444938255 ]844-493-8255 or text “TALK” to 38255. The service is free,
confidential, and available in multiple languages.

This crisis has already caused too many casualties. Let’s do everything we
can to reduce the toll.
