Mission Statement
The mission of The Empowerment Program is to holistically help individuals build healthier lives from the inside out and our vision is to empower participants to make healthy and safe decisions through trauma, gender, and culturally responsive holistic public health services.
About This Cause
The Empowerment Program Inc. is a licensed mental health and drug treatment program providing trauma-informed and gender-responsive outpatient services. We believe that participants benefit most from a holistic approach, where many types of treatments are available to meet individual needs. We meet people where they’re at, and encouraging realistic options for reducing harm in sexual activity and drug usage so individuals can use what works for them. Some of the harm reduction strategies we use include HIV/HCV/STI testing, PrEP Navigation, sexual wellness, sharps disposal, Narcan for the community, and safer drug usage kits that reduce bloodborne pathogen transmission. Alongside our harm reduction program, we also assist individuals in overcoming barriers in receiving HIV healthcare services through individualized case management. We offer a variety of services to promote participants’ mental, physical and sexual health. We work in partnership with our participants to help them reach their goals along their individual journey. Wellness spreads, and when you take time to focus on your wellness you are also taking time to increase the resiliency of your family and community. If you are interested in reducing harm to your body by addressing substance use and mental wellness this is a great place for you to start. Through our work as a licensed mental health and substance use disorder education program, our peer specialists and care managers provide individual and group classes that cover substance use disorders, sexual health, mental wellness, financial stability and more to support participants as they build the skills necessary to achieve their goals. Our peer specialists and care managers provide individual resource navigation of support systems. Our classes and support groups are offered at The Empowerment Program as well as in our housing facilities, Denver County Jail, Project: Elevate Halfway House, and various local collaborating shelters and service agencies. We are also here to support our participants on their path to employment. We offer individualized job placement and support to our participants as they navigate the employment process. We work with individuals who are recently released from incarceration, in a half-way house, and those who will soon be released.
