Every child deserves to feel loved, safe, and successful. That is why Tennyson provides compassionate care and treatment for kids and families who have been impacted by neglect, abuse, and other traumatic experiences. Our therapists work directly with kids 0-18 in over 3,000 homes in 17 counties across Colorado. We also run a fully accredited K-12 school where kids receive therapy and an education all under one roof to ensure their social, emotional, and behavioral learning. Last but not least, our "Families Together" program strengthens Colorado’s foster families and biological families by connecting them with trained “Neighbors” who deliver meals and helping hands.
On average, kids in our School & Day Treatment program saw a 45% increase in reading proficiency and a 52% increase in math proficiency.
We work with every Colorado child and family impacted by trauma so they can realize their infinite possibilities.
Tennyson opened its doors in 1904 as an orphanage for Colorado's most vulnerable kids. Since then, we've evolved to meet the rising mental health needs of kids and families in our state. Our goal is to strengthen and support kids and families so children won’t enter the foster care system in the first place. For kids already in the system, we want to keep their adoptive families strong so kids won’t be moved from foster home to foster home.
Our team of therapists, teachers, early childhood experts, and volunteers help kids and families find their unique paths to healing, sometimes working 2-10 hours a week with one family to build the skills and supports they need to heal. We often hear from families that Tennyson offers a level of compassion and expertise they could not find anywhere else.
These efforts are improving kids' lives, which ensures a healthier future for our state. We hope you will join us by standing up for the most vulnerable members of our community!
