About Denver Children’s Home – Denver
The Denver Children’s Home in Denver, Colorado is a residential treatment facility for youth. They work with kids who have gone through issues like complex trauma, neglect, or abuse. They also support children who are living with mental illness. This could include young clients dealing with substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, self harm tendencies and more.
Denver Children’s Home is licensed as a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility that treats youth between the ages of nine and 18.
This residential program is designed to help young people heal and grow in a safe and supportive environment. The campus includes an accredited on-site school called The Bansbach Academy.
Denver Children’s Home boasts five dormitories that each have several common areas and bathrooms. They are staffed around the clock, even at night.
I like that every resident has a dedicated therapist that they see weekly for individual counseling sessions. If appropriate, family therapy is also available.
Their clinical team includes a psychiatrist and clinical psychologist. These experts will constantly assess each resident’s progress to tweak their care and support. The team works with the child’s full system including caseworkers, teachers, family and more.
