Solvista Health’s Colorado Spirit program is continuing to provide counseling and other support services to individuals, families, agencies, and businesses as they navigate the pandemic. Colorado Spirit’s team can help businesses and their employees balance their work and personal life, adjust to pandemic-related changes, and new norms in the workplace. The team is also assisting at multiple vaccination sites in Chaffee, Custer, Fremont, and Lake Counties to support local agencies.
The Colorado Spirit Program provides free COVID-19 counseling and support made possible through FEMA grant funding administered through the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, according to a press release issued Monday.
The pandemic has caused massive impacts both economically and emotionally on many people, creating the need for additional support. Colorado Spirit can help meet those needs in Custer, Fremont, Chaffee and Lake counties. Â
 Colorado Spirit counselors are trained to provide support around the stress and disruption the pandemic is causing for people. These counselors do not provide traditional mental health treatment and diagnosis. Counselors can be a listening ear, a connection to resources, or a coach for developing coping skills.Â
