City of Boulder and The Hope Institute Announce Opening of New Suicide Prevention Service
Sep 24th
The Hope Institute provides a crucial addition to Boulder’s behavioral health resources aimed at suicide prevention.
BOULDER, Colo. – The City of Boulder and The Hope Institute are excited to announce the opening of The Hope Institute on Monday, Oct. 7, 2024. Located at 1790 30th Street, STE 350, their services will be available from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday and will offer vital outpatient services, including both in-person and telehealth treatments for individuals experiencing serious thoughts of suicide.
Data from local nonprofit and government agencies, health care providers and the city’s Crisis Intervention Response Team show that suicidality continues to be a challenge for community members of all ages, and that it can take a range of supports to help people build a life they see as worth living.
The Hope Institute provides short-term outpatient care (6-12 weeks) to individuals of all ages including individual and group counseling, using the evidence-based treatments Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and additional services for those most in need. With a proven track record of reducing suicidal ideation in an average of six weeks, services can benefit community members with a wide range of public and private insurance coverage and people who are uninsured.
“We are excited to open in Boulder,” said Dr. Derek J. Lee, executive director of The Hope Institute of America. “Boulder is a great example of a community committed to supporting a range of quality mental and behavioral health services for its community members to thrive. My hope is that Boulder can be an anchor that brings more suicide prevention services to the region.”
The city provided $400,000 in startup support to The Hope Institute through the city’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding.
“Many local organizations are providing excellent support and treatment for community members at risk for suicide,” shared Human Services Senior Manager Wendy Schwartz. “The Hope Institute’s services are intended to complement and partner with existing care providers. During the short-term stabilization period with clients, The Hope Institute will work with local partners to transition them to longer-term care options that best fit their needs.”
The city is dedicated to working with community partners to support comprehensive mental health resources for all Boulder community members. Learn more about available community mental health resources on the city’s website.
