SPARK HEALTH
WE CONNECT PROFESSIONAL MENTAL HEALTH VOLUNTEERS TO VULNERABLE COLORADANS IN NEED OF FREE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. |
The Mental Wellness Program is a statewide program of Spark the Change Colorado that provides free, short term counseling services to individuals, couples, and families who encounter barriers to accessing treatment. Barriers may include being uninsured, unable to find an appropriate/available clinician through other avenues of care (lengthy waitlist times, etc.), unable to afford treatment, or unable to afford insurance co-pays or deductibles. Each year, the program connects over 2,500 individuals to free counseling and mental health services in their communities. Services are provided through two models: Private Practice Model and Host Site Model.
**NOTE: We are currently experiencing an unusually high call volume and, consequently, have a waiting list for accessing our free mental health services. If you would like to be placed on our waiting list for services, please contact 720-420-3218. To explore additional options of service, please see our Community Resource Guide.
