Mental Health Support

The Counselors at Boulder High School are always available to give social & emotional support to all students helping them to persevere through challenging times. Students and/or parents/guardians can make an appointment with their counselor by sending them an email or calling the counseling desk at 720-561-5351.  Students can also drop in to speak with the counselor-on-call before or after school, during an off period, or during lunch, preferably not during class so as to not miss instructional time. Go to Meet Our Counselors page for counselor contact information and office hours.

Most adolescents experience positive mental health, but one in five has had a serious mental health disorder at some point in their life.  Problems with mental health often start early in life. In fact, half of all mental health problems begin by age 14. The good news is that promoting positive mental health can prevent some problems from starting. For young people who already have mental health disorders, early intervention and treatment can help lessen the impact on their lives.

Mental health disorders can interfere with regular activities and daily functioning, such as relationships, schoolwork, sleeping, and eating.  If you feel your child is experiencing a mental health concern talk to your school counselor or nurse, or find additional resources at Mental Health Partners.

If you or your child is experiencing a mental health crisis call: 1-844-493-TALK

For more information on how to support your child, please see the BHS Health Services page.
