In 1943, a young woman named Cleo Spurlock Wallace began
treating children with speech and language problems. What began as a school in her basement has
become the Rocky Mountain Region’s most comprehensive psychiatric center for
children and adolescents. For 60 years,
Devereux Colorado has treated children with psychiatric, emotional, and behavioral
challenges.
Devereux Colorado utilizes a trauma-informed and solution
oriented model of family therapy in which parents and families are seen as
active participants and partners in their child’s treatment. This approach focuses on capitalizing on the
available family strengths and resources, rather than traditional “uncovering”
approaches.
Devereux Colorado is excited to combine vast expertise, a
long history of service, and strong professionalism as new programs continue to
be added to our Community-Based
Services (CBS) in the greater Metro Denver area. By serving children, adolescents, and
families in their homes an communities, Devereux is dedicated to having a
strong continuum of care of services to meet client’s emotional, developmental,
intellectual, therapeutic, behavioral, and vocational needs. Utilizing prevention, evidence-based
interventions, and strength-based approaches in working with individuals and
families, Devereux Colorado’s clinicians and staff members promote placement
stability, health and safety, and success.
Additionally, Devereux Colorado has a strong commitment to
partnering and communicating with other providers and agencies. Devereux’s collaboration with other community
members results in a high level of personalized care for every individual by
preventing out-of-home placements, reunifying clients and families, and
developing new needed services. This
understanding of the importance in community-based services and collaboration
also means that Devereux Colorado is committed to helping families connect and
access long-term supports and resources in their own community.
