Specialized Alternatives for Families and Youth of Colorado, Inc.

A nonprofit organization

Specialized Alternatives for Families and Youth of Colorado's (SAFY of CO) began providing services in Colorado in July 2014 after responding to the need to serve children and youth sustainably while supporting family or other permanent connections. Our mission of Preserving Families, Securing Futures is accomplished through proactive and preemptive mental health treatment for adolescents and their family system. Your support would further SAFY of Colorado's mission by providing resources to deliver innovative treatment modalities, such as Animal Assisted Therapy and to purchase sensory materials and educational resources that support child health as well as caregiver education.

Testimonials

A Foster Youth's Story "Foster care makes me feel like nobody sees me or hears me. Sometimes I hear people talking about me like I'm not even there. But Layla, the therapy dog, always sees me. She's always glad to see me and I'm always glad to see her. Just seeing her makes me happy, and then it's easier for me to talk to my foster parents and caseworkers."
