Mesa County DHS Launches New ‘Warmline’

“The Mesa County Department of Human Services, through its Child Protection Hotline, has launched a new pilot program called the Mesa County Warmline to help better serve the community.

‘The Mesa County Warmline is an opportunity for people who are calling our child protection hotline and they don’t need to make a report of abuse or neglect,” said Michelle Jones, child welfare manager for the Mesa County DHS. “They can get information about community resources and get that information sent to them, either over the phone, through email or in the mail, and then they can use that information to connect to those community resources.’

The warmline can connect callers to a wide variety of resources through the Western Colorado 211 database.”
