Our Community Based Family Services address child protection, emotional and behavioral challenges, domestic violence, parenting, child trauma, and specific mental health concerns in the family’s own home, school and community.

An individualized plan including therapy and/or support services is developed to meet each family’s needs. Our CBFS team also offers bilingual, culturally-relevant services to Spanish-speaking clients. Average length of treatment is 5 months.

Tennyson Center for Children’s Education Program offers a continuum of education approaches to meet the behavioral and academic needs of students for children who are having difficulty achieving success in the public school setting.

Outpatient Therapy services are available for individuals and families at our Denver campus.
