You can also speak with a trained team member who will help assess your needs and connect you to the right resources—whether that’s a mental health provider, substance use support, or crisis response services.
You’re Not Alone
The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office and local public safety agencies are working together under the philosophy of #OneAgencyOneMissionPublicSafety, supporting the whole community with compassionate, proactive care.
“Even if something ‘big’ hasn’t happened, the build-up of life’s struggles can become too much. You don’t have to go through it alone,” says a CRU spokesperson.
If you or someone you care about is walking a difficult road, take the first step toward support.
