How They Help
Griffith Centers recruits, trains, and supports foster families across Colorado with a trauma-informed approach. Their licensed foster care program provides placement support, ongoing training, and wraparound services — ensuring foster parents have everything they need to provide safe, healing environments for children in their care.
Outpatient and community-based mental health services for children and families dealing with trauma, behavioral challenges, and emotional difficulties. Griffith Centers' licensed clinicians provide individual therapy, family therapy, psychiatric services, and crisis intervention — all grounded in evidence-based, trauma-informed practice.
For youth who need a higher level of care, Griffith Centers operates residential treatment programs that provide 24-hour therapeutic support in a structured, nurturing environment. Youth receive individualized treatment plans, education support, and skill-building to prepare them for successful transitions back to family and community life.
School-based counseling, family preservation services, and community outreach programs bring Griffith Centers' expertise directly into the communities they serve. These programs reduce barriers to care, improve school outcomes, and strengthen families — keeping children safely at home whenever possible.
