Third Way Center operates in the mental health care sector in Denver, Colorado, focusing on vulnerable adolescents with complex mental health needs and the families who support them. Its work centers on guiding trauma resolution and aiding youth toward becoming productive members of society. The organization delivers a residential continuum of care across five metro Denver locations, integrating home-like living, diagnostic assessment, and therapeutic services. Beyond clinical treatment, it administers two state-recognized alternative high schools and offers life skills, job training, parenting education, and emancipation support to prepare youths for independent adulthood. Its origins date to 1970, when Dr. Hildegard Messenbaugh and community members established an option for troubled youths at risk of homelessness or incarceration.
