The services of Children First of the Rockies are designed to help clients, specifically families in conflict or crisis, improve their quality of life and ensure the safety and well-being of children. Our goals are to provide a nurturing environment in which parents learn better parenting skills and provide a safe, secure place for supervised parenting time visits and exchanges. We are the only nonprofit agency in Boulder County offering Safe Alternatives for Family Engagement (SAFE) Services. Parent Education Program Through this program we support and educate parents in order to prevent neglect and abuse and encourage nurturing parenting that will promote healthy child development. Our Nurturing Parenting class (English and Spanish) is a court-approved curriculum offering a family-centered approach to build parenting skills and practices. Boot Camp for New Dads inspires and equips men to become confidently engaged with their infants and children, support their mates, and navigate their transformation into dads. Our Young Moms Group provide support to young women and men 23 years of age and younger. SAFE Services Program Through our SAFE Exchanges we deal with the issues associated with conflict between parents. Exchanges consist of parents dropping off and picking up children with a 15 minute interval between the exchanges so there is no meeting between the two adults. The opportunity provided by SAFE Exchange services is to eliminate triggers between the two parents that could have unhappy, unsafe, and harmful impact on the child. We also offer Supervised Parenting Time (SPT) to support families in crisis where parenting is an issue. In providing this service, our staff observes and records these observations of non-custodial parents’ interactions with their children for periods of one to two hours during visits. The opportunity we provide with this service is the elimination of re-victimization of the child by the parent.
