Fire Resources
Aug. 2, 2024
With wildfires impacting much of the Colorado Front Range, the CU Anschutz community offers our support. We want to ensure everyone in our campus community has access to the resources they need.
Events like these are distressing for many. Please remember that there are mental health resources available to all members of our community.
How to Get Help
- Students: Contact the Office of Student Outreach and Support or call 303-724-2866 for assistance. Those displaced by the fires may also contact their school, college or program's Dean of Students directly.
- Employees: We will work with those impacted by the fires to make arrangements for administrative or other leave, or for temporary work arrangements, to help you navigate your circumstances. Those impacted by the fires who are unable to perform their work responsibilities should notify their supervisors for assistance. HR Business Partners within each school and department can assist with payroll processes associated with these options.
- Mental Health: Numerous resources are available on campus and off. Colorado Crisis Services provides professional support at no cost 24/7 by calling 1-844-493-8255 or texting “TALK” to 38255.
