Child and Family Programs
At Tennyson, we offer three main programs that keep children and families safely together. Last year, 68% of people in our programs showed a reduction in their trauma-related symptoms.
Community Based Programs
Community Support provides child and family therapy, parenting support, behavior management, and more for kids and families across Colorado. We bring these services directly to homes, schools, or any other place where they can best work towards healing. We have specialized services for a variety of groups including children with autism and other disabilities, parents with teens, and families with kids 5-18.
School & Day Treatment
We provide a school and day-treatment program for children who have experienced complex trauma. This K-12 school is fully accredited with a 4:1 student-to-staff ratio. Students and their families can receive individual and group therapy, and family therapy as needed. The combination of social, emotional, behavioral, and academic learning helps 92% of students who discharge return to their neighborhood schools.
Residential Services
Tennyson’s Residential Program provides services for youth age 6 to 14, who qualify for the Children’s Habilitation Residential Program (CHRP). These services are licensed by the residential childcare facility (RCCF) from the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS) and the Health First Colorado Home and Community Based Services – Children’s Habilitation Residential Program.
Transition Readiness, Employment & Engagement (TREE)
TREE helps young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), many also managing mental health needs, transition to a more independent life by building skills, confidence, and a strong support network. We combine academics, job training, independent living skills, and therapeutic services so young adults with IDD can complete high school, explore post-secondary options, find meaningful work, and participate fully in their communities.
