Rocky Mountain Crisis Partners is an independent non-profit organization, based in Colorado, focused on effective Crisis Care, that exists for no other reason than to make life better for the citizens of Colorado.
We offer skilled, hope-filled care to individuals and families in crisis free of charge, through phone, text and chat messaging 24/7, 365 days a year. This includes services like in-the-moment stabilization, early intervention, peer (lived-experience) support, follow up care for Crisis Lines and Emergency Department partners, referral into ongoing treatment to all Coloradans - regardless of geography, income, race, gender, etc.
Rocky Mountain Crisis Partners is your local National Suicide Prevention Lifeline provider, the provider of the statewide Colorado Crisis and Support Line, is the only service of its kind in the state, and is often times the only behavioral healthcare resource accessible for Coloradans.
Rocky Mountain Crisis Partners was created in September 2008 as the result of a multi-year planning process, originally called "The Triage Project," which was led by Mental Health America of Colorado (MHAC). This process involved over 100 community stakeholders (human service providers, law enforcement, consumers/family members, philanthropists, governments, and hospitals). These stakeholders identified a critical need to offer a systemic approach to behavioral healthcare access for Colorado residents.
Implementation of the Metro Crisis Line in 2010 was the first tangible step in developing the crisis system envisioned in the planning process and achieving the following organizational goals:
• To make mental health and substance use disorder care more accessible to people in need;
• To provide a local, professional resource to community members that responds to immediate mental health needs;
• To intervene in situations involving people with mental health or substance use disorders before they require the attention of law enforcement or other first responders;
• To reduce or eliminate suicide;
• To eliminate unnecessary use of hospital emergency departments and jails for people with mental health or substance use needs.
Since 2011, RMCP has been the state's provider for suicide prevention services, and we are thrilled to continue serving as the provider for the new suicide prevention lifeline 988, making suicide prevention services even more accessible for Coloradans.
