DENVER — A nonprofit organization provides mental health care for Colorado Latinos affected by news of the school massacre in a mostly Latino community in Texas.

“We’re really trying to be here to support our community,” said Neva Martinez, co-director of Behavioral Health at Servicios de la Raza.

Serving the Latino community in Denver for 50 years, Servicios de la Raza offers not only basic emergency services, access to health care, employment and financial coaching, but also behavioral health services in both English and Spanish.

“We have weekly support groups where people can come in and just chat with our peer specialists in English and Spanish on a weekly basis,” Martinez said.

If you’re not Latino and still need help, the nonprofit recommends calling Colorado Crisis Services at 1-844-493-8255. The telephone lines are always open and confidential. You can also reach them by text message. Text the word “TALK” to 38255.
