Outpatient Services
Our Child & Family Outpatient Services offer therapeutic and preventive services for children, youth and their families. We provide evidence-based services designed to meet the needs of each individual and family we serve in order to promote their health and well-being.
School-Based Services
WellPower’s school-based therapists provide effective, individualized, strength-based, trauma-informed and culturally respectful mental health treatment services to students within Denver Public Schools. Therapists collaborate with parents, guardians, school personnel and community organizations. Our school-based program focuses on communities of color and other diverse student populations, given the inequities in supportive services and health care. Providing therapeutic services within the school setting increases the ease of access while decreasing barriers to treatment.
We know that healthy students are more likely to go to school ready to learn, actively engage in school activities, have supportive and caring connections with adults and young people, use appropriate problem-solving skills, add to positive school culture and engage in safe behaviors.
The school-based team believes that children, youth and families are resilient, and we support them in achieving a healthy and successful future.

- Identification and assessment of therapeutic need, including crisis intervention
- Individual, family and group therapy are conducted both in-person and via telehealth
- Consultation and training with parents, teachers and community partners
- Case management as well as collaboration with school personnel and other WellPower departments
