Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence (SPAN), CO
Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence (SPAN) provides a comprehensive continuum of services for at-risk children/youth and their non-abusing parent who have been exposed to domestic violence. The goal of SPAN’s Child & Youth Resiliency Program (CYRP) is to increase and enhance evidence-based, trauma responsive strategies, advocacy, and systems responses to families experiencing domestic violence. The CYRP provides intensive parenting support and evidence-based interventions for survivors and their children as they are first emerging from crisis and trauma, and then sustains these innovative services as families rebuild their lives after violence and instability. The CYRP implements Let’s Connect® as its primary parenting support program, beginning while children/youth and their non-abusing parent are staying at SPAN’s Emergency Shelter. Let’s Connect® (letsconnect.org), developed by partners at the University of Colorado’s Institute of Behavioral Science/Center on Resilience & Well-Being (CRW), is a trauma-responsive, dyadic intervention for children and their caregivers.
