It can be challenging to prioritize your health when many of us in Telluride work hard during the busy seasons, preparing for the quieter off-seasons. Nevertheless, it’s important to prioritize our health by participating in community events, promoting good mental health, and maintaining a nutritious diet. Here are some free resources and events available in San Miguel County to support these needs throughout the year.

Financial Assistance for Behavioral Health Services
The San Miguel Behavioral Health Solutions Fund offers up to six counseling sessions, reimbursed at a rate of $110 per session, to residents and workers in San Miguel County. This reimbursement is paid directly to the counselor. If a counselor charges more than $110 per session, clients are responsible for paying the difference. This initiative aims to lower the barriers to accessing mental health care and foster a healthier community.
Additionally, individuals earning less than 400% of the Federal Poverty Level are eligible for an extra six sessions, also reimbursed at $110 per session. We’ve made recent adjustments to hopefully make accessing services more simplified and user friendly for both clients and therapists.
