For more than 30 years, Blue Sky Bridge has served as Boulder County’s Child Advocacy Center, fostering safe communities, healing, and justice to end child abuse. Established to provide a safe, child-centered environment for children and families impacted by abuse, Blue Sky Bridge brings together law enforcement, social services, and medical partners through neutral, professionally led forensic interviews that reduce trauma and support effective investigations. Every child deserves to be safe — and every survivor deserves the best possible care.
Blue Sky Bridge’s three-program continuum of care works to prevent abuse before it happens, respond when it occurs, and help children heal afterward:
Our Prevention Education Program reaches thousands of students each year with body-safety education, empowering children and adults to recognize and report unsafe situations.
Our Intervention Program provides a coordinated, compassionate response for children disclosing abuse and their non-offending caregivers.
Our Therapy & Healing Program offers trauma-informed treatment that restores hope and helps children and families move forward.
We are busier than ever before, addressing more complex cases and mental-health needs than at any time in our history. Your partnership ensures we can continue delivering these life-changing services — giving children and families across Boulder County safety, support, and a path to healing.
“I most appreciated the staff, who were professional, kind, and aware. The experience was an easy fit and my child was not scared or uneasy about being here. Thank you all for what you do!”
-Testimonial of caregiver whose child was interviewed at Blue Sky Bridge.
“What I valued most was that they took the time to listen to how we were feeling and talk things through, helping us so that we could help our daughters—because, as parents, we want the best for our children.”
-Parent of Blue Sky Bridge clients (translated from Spanish)
“We were having a class discussion about playground behavior. It came up that a student was feeling uncomfortable about the way someone was touching them. They all knew to use ‘no,’ ‘go,’ and ‘tell’ in this situation.”
-3rd grade teacher, Prevention Education Program
“My child actually enjoys going to counseling. They really like and trust their therapist. The snacks and the dog also help a lot. :)”
-Parent of a Therapy Client
“It was so vivid [the worst time in my life] because we were dealing with so many other things – detectives and psychologists – when we were in a financial crisis. To get support [at Blue Sky Bridge] that we didn’t have to pay for. We didn’t have to delay the process. I can’t tell you what a life saver that was at that time. I hope your funders know.”
- Parent of a child who received a forensic interview and therapy services at Blue Sky Bridge.
Blue Sky Bridge is a center dedicated to creating lasting, positive change in the lives of children affected by abuse in Boulder County and beyond.
We envision a community where every child is safe, and we work to be a beacon of strength, leadership, hope, and resilience until child abuse is eradicated.
For 30 years, Blue Sky Bridge has been Boulder County’s Child Advocacy Center, dedicated to ensuring that children impacted by abuse are heard, protected, and given the chance to heal.
Founded in 1994 through a collaboration of community leaders, law enforcement, and social services, Blue Sky Bridge was built on the belief that a child’s voice should be met with compassion, coordination, and care. What began as a small program in Niwot has grown into a nationally accredited center offering prevention education, forensic interviews, family advocacy, and trauma-informed therapy.
Today, we continue to lead a countywide effort to end child abuse—creating lasting, positive change for children, families, and our community.
