COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES

Denver Children's Home recognizes the need for behavioral health services to be implemented in the community. Community-Based Services include Intensive In-Home Therapy and Case Management provided to parents and caregivers.

Intensive In-Home Therapy

Families participating in the Intensive In-Home Therapy Program receive a wide array of services within their own home. Families that are served in this program have often struggled to succeed in other therapeutic settings. We employ a variety of evidenced-based and trauma-informed interventions ranging from experiential therapies to more traditional talk therapy techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Clients from the age of 5 to 18 years old are served in this program. 

Additionally, the team is trained and certified in Let’s Connect ™.  Let’s Connect (LC) is a parenting intervention that teaches caregivers to identify and respond to children’s emotional needs and behaviors in a way that builds connection and warmth and promotes children’s emotional competence, sense of emotional security, and well-being.

Treatment is tailored to meet the needs of each family. Our clinicians are all Masters level and highly skilled in working with diverse and complex cases. In addition to therapeutic interventions, our Intensive In-Home team can also provide individualized behavior coaching and parent education. 

Community-Based Services at Denver Children's Home includes behavior therapy interventions, which seek to build parents' capacity to prepare for, adapt to, and recover from stressful situations, challenges, or adversities that present on a daily basis, giving them room to focus on the joy of parenting. When parents or caregivers have tools available to manage their stresses, they have more energy available to nurture, educate and embrace their children in their journey of growth and development.

Families in this program also receive comprehensive needs assessments conducted in their homes by our case management staff to address challenges with basic needs. These services enable families to better focus on treatment.
