[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 740690, member: 22840"] Colorado has a crises hot line, the hot line you get for Denver is the same one, I found it by googling "Colorado crises hot line". I suggested the hot line instead of the police for a few reasons. First the police will not have someone taken to a hospital unless they are obviously psychotic. Second for the most part the police are not trained to talk someone down, they have to get dangerous situations under control quickly, that's their job. Third when someone seems reasonable in the few minutes the police talk to them they will do nothing other than to possibly tell them they have a civil matter to go deal with depending on the complaint, that's their job. Forth A crises worker on the other hand can talk things through further and offer help in various ways to someone who is not thinking or acting right. If a family member calls they will reach out to the person in crises. And they will call the police if need be. [/QUOTE]
