Colorado Youth Services
Envoi Associates' Colorado Therapeutic Foster Care Program is a Licensed Child Placement Agency (CPA) with the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS). Our program is dedicated to expanding the availability of proficient treatment and therapeutic foster parents in its service areas. We prioritize the well-being and security of children and youth entrusted to our certified foster care homes, emphasizing the significance of nurturing strong, lasting connections between caregivers and the children they support. Our foster care program delivers comprehensive training and assistance to both prospective and existing treatment and therapeutic foster parents, focusing on trauma-informed care, fostering healthy relationships with children and youth, child and adolescent development, navigating resources and services for youngsters with complex needs, and understanding the intricate intersection of developmental and intellectual disabilities with adverse childhood experiences in children and youth under our care. With a highly experienced and knowledgeable staff and leadership team proficient in working with diverse populations, we are committed to providing interdisciplinary and collaborative training and support to families to better comprehend the unique needs of children and youth with developmental disabilities and mental health diagnoses.
Our commitment to safety and the well-being of the children and youth is paramount:
-
We rigorously recruit, screen, and train foster families and direct support staff, adhering to the strict policies and procedures established by CDHS and Envoi Associates.
-
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy against mistreatment, abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Any such conduct is not tolerated.
-
We are dedicated to upholding an environment where foster parents and direct support staff can provide the best care possible to the children and youth in our custody, without hindrance.
At Envoi Associates, we are dedicated to providing the highest level of care and support for the children and youth affiliated with the Colorado Department of Human Services, with a strong emphasis on their well-being, safety, and nurturing family environments.
Nondiscrimination Policy
At Envoi Associates, we uphold a non-discrimination policy and treatment philosophy throughout our organization. We do not discriminate against any individual seeking to become a foster parent based on their race, color, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status, or national origin. Our decisions regarding the enrollment, placement, or dismissal of a child or youth with a disability or chronic condition adhere to the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. When making placements, we always take into account a child or youth's cultural, ethnic, or racial background, as well as other individual characteristics, and the foster parent's ability to meet the specific needs of that child or youth.
