Family Life Center
Our mission is to provide affordable community-based multi-cultural services for families in the Denver metropolitan area and enhancing the lives of parents and children with physical and intellectual disabilities. These services include parental education and support, family therapy, individual therapy, art therapy and classes, children’s therapy, single mom education, and support. Our program is provided remotely and in-person at our Family Life Center.
Specialized Day Habilitation
An onsite program four days/week is provided on site so trainers/participants may teach the dogs the necessary skills in the specialized day habilitation program. Our goal is for each participant to attain his/her/their maximum functional level or to be supported in a way allowing him/her/them to gain an increased level of self-sufficiency. We believe dogs are a vital piece for these individuals to feel safer and less alone so they may better access the community.
