About Tennyson Center for Children

The Tennyson Center for Children strives to improve the mental health and wellness of those impacted by trauma and other adverse experiences. We believe that everyone has the opportunity and support needed to learn, grow, and thrive. Tennyson Center for Children has served Colorado’s most neglected, abused, and traumatized children since 1904. We provide an accredited, therapeutic K-12 school with a 3:1 student-to-staff ratio on our campus; in-home and community services in 12 counties across the state to provide preventive services and therapy to strengthen families with children aged 0 to adulthood; and residential youth services for those who qualify for the Children’s Habilitation Residential Program (CHRP). In 2019, we began leading a collaborative statewide initiative called Rewiring, which seeks to ensure that families remain safely together and eventually reduce the number of children and families involved with the child welfare system.
