Community-Based Services

Tennyson Center for Children at Colorado Christian Home offers a number of community-based programs to serve children and families.  The driving philosophy behind these services is to provide prevention and intervention in the child’s home and/or school to avoid more intensive and restrictive placements.  Currently, we are serving nearly 130 children and their families in our off-campus programs.

Our Philosphy

All of our community-based services utilize the family systems approach, focusing on all the whole family and the various systems in which the family interacts.  It is our belief that children cannot be treated outside the family and community context.  We see families as our partners, not just as clients. 

Key practice philosophy utilized in our work include the Principles of Family Support, Postive Behavior Support, Solution-Focused Interventions, Wraparound, and Brief Therapy.  We are members of the Child Welfare League of America, Family Support America, and are licensed by the State of Colorado and the Council on Accredidation (COA).

Home-Based Services

We provide in-home family preservation and stabilization interventions including therapy, case management, advocacy, and support.  Services can range from 1 visit to 5 visits per week depending on the family needs.  We work together with families to increase child protection and safety, reduce family conflict, stabilize basic needs, or successfully reunify a child to the family after out-of-home placement. 

Servicios Bilingües

Spanish-speaking and culturally-specific services can be provided by our team of bilingual staff.  We strive to support and advocate for families who are at greater risk due to a language and/or culture barrier.  All treatment reports are translated into Spanish for monolingual families. 

Public School Support Services

When necessary, we can provide support services for individual students struggling in their public school environment.  The goal is to prevent further problems or to help a child transition back into a public school environment after leaving a treatment setting.
