Mission Statement
Denver Children's Home restores hope and health to traumatized children and families through a comprehensive array of therapeutic, educational, and community-based services.
About This Cause
Denver Children’s Home provides a comprehensive therapeutic and educational continuum of care for our region’s abused, neglected and traumatized children and their families with mental health issues. We offer prevention, intervention, and treatment programs grounded in trauma-informed care and the latest in brain-development research. We strive to: ∙ Provide the most effective, but least restrictive treatment based on individual needs of each child; ∙ Progress children, even those with the most serious mental health disorders, through various levels of care and eventually return them home or to an alternative community-based setting; ∙ Offer a positive alternative to psychiatric hospitalization, combining intensive therapy, individualized academic support and advanced drug treatments for biologically based mental illnesses; ∙ Help children take ownership of their treatment; to understand their reactions and responses to life events, accept responsibility for their actions, control their behavior and develop coping mechanisms for difficulties beyond their control; and, ∙ Help families and caregivers gain access to the support and services they need to stabilize families. We offer a 24/7 on site Residential Program; a fully accredited (by Advanced Ed and the Colorado Department of Education) and integrated school, The Bansbach Academy; a Day Treatment Program; two transitional, semi-independent group homes for adolescents ages 14 to 18 called Discovery Home and Inspire Home; Community-Based Services including an Intensive In-Home Program, Outpatient Services and support like referrals and Family Needs Assessments to clients being served in our other programs as well as community members at large; and an Assessment Program that offers resources for both children and adults who are interested in learning more about themselves and their current issues. Our clients overwhelmingly come to us based on referrals from county social services, schools, community mental health providers, hospitals and juvenile justice organizations.
