“Mission: our mission is to break the cycle and heal the childhood trauma resulting from abuse and neglect with specialized treatment, education and community outreach. We believe in a comprehensive, community-based approach to the problem of child sexual abuse. We coordinate services with law enforcement, child protection agencies, schools, medical professionals, and other mental health providers.”

“Other community impact: in addition, childsafe provided over 1,500 hours of training and education presentations out in the community. We train community members, professionals and individuals about the signs and treatments for childhood abuse, as well as educate audiences on the reality of the issues we face, treatment we provide, and ways they can help survivors. Expansion of services: in 2024, we prepared for expansion, working to hire additional staff members and readying a new facility that opened in loveland in 2025. This facility is part of a collaborative campus, housing nine nonprofits serving children and families.”

“In 2024, childsafe treated 555 individuals in our catp outpatient treatment program. We serve victims of child abuse (primarily sexual abuse), ages 2- 18, and their non-offending family members through a combination of group, individual and family therapy to help foster resilience and heal the damage caused by abuse. After a thorough assessment, our highly trained therapists, with client input, develop treatment plans for the work they will do together. Our treatment approach is trauma-informed and may include: play, art, sand, and music, as well as tf-cbt, talk, emdr, neurofeedback, and other highly effective therapies. Family therapy is conducted to improve communication and trust, and heal attachment wounds. Through group therapy, clients learn that they are not alone in their struggles and can face their challenges and learn to thrive with the support and encouragement of their peers. In 2024, we taught 119 caregivers in our trauma-informed parenting classes to give them the tools to face the challenges of raising traumatized children and teens. In addition, we provided over 600 hours of individual parent coaching to our families. Our clinicians also provide support and advocacy for clients going through the court system and connect families with referrals for accessing help with basic needs. We turn no one away due to inability to pay for services. Childsafe is a respected member of the mdt (multi-disciplinary team) in our community responding to cases of child abuse and neglect. Our clinicians provide vital training and consultation to area professionals regarding the myriad issues facing victims of abuse and how to respond in an effective and trauma-informed manner. In 2022, we began to facilitate brain mapping (neurosequential model of therapeutics) to assess clients' adverse experiences, relational health, and current functioning. From these data points, we create a map that shows the client's brain function compared to typically-developed peers. The clinician then provides concrete treatment recommendations to best fit that individual client. This ensures clients get appropriate treatment, but also that outside systems, like the child's school, will more likely meet their needs in trauma-informed ways.”

“Avac - adults victimized as children (avc) in 2024, we treated 78 individuals in the avac program, which serves adults over 18 years of age who have experienced childhood abuse, primarily child sexual abuse. Sexual abuse victims are at risk of psychological, emotional, social, and physical problems that can last into adulthood. Our comprehensive program was developed specifically for women and men who were abused as children and teens. We treat survivors, as well as their supportive family members. The ripple effects of abuse can impact everyone in the survivor's orbit and childsafe offers our full range of services to help these individuals and families heal and thrive. It is not uncommon for the caregivers of child victims to have their own history of childhood abuse. We are here to help heal those wounds with comprehensive services through a combination of group, individual, and family therapy. So often, adult survivors live for years carrying a burdensome secret, and having a skilled therapist and a group of other survivors to meet with, can be a lifesaver.”
