The Light House has programs to help children who have experienced foster care and their families to ensure better mental health. Whether it is Emotional Regulation classes for the kids, support group for the parents, or our First Light program, The Light House exists to ease the trauma of foster care for the kids in the Denver metro area.
Did you know?
Studies show that trauma-informed programs for foster youth can reduce C-PTSD symptoms by 40% and significantly improve trust, anger management, and anxiety outcomes—often by 30–50%, depending on the intervention.
All of our classes and workshops are open to children that have been affected by foster care which includes reunited bio kids, foster, kinship placed, or adopted children. Classes have been paused to allow the organization a chance to find a facility. Having a more permanent location will allow the families we serve a better experience.

Our Parents of Children with Trauma Support Group consists of all types of parents that have kids with behaviors they can’t figure out due to trauma or internalized beliefs. The Light House comes alongside you and supports you by letting you control what we learn and need. Sometimes, we just need to have some fun with other adults that know what we are going through. Let’s work together towards healing for the kids and keep our sanity in the process!
