Our Big News
We are excited to announce our participation in our local Children’s Advocacy Center – Safe Passage’s new co-located center in Colorado Springs. This collaborative model, an industry best practice, brings together six partner agencies for abuse prevention, investigation, medical support, advocacy, and healing services in one location. This is a model of service that is a national standard and the only co-located center in Colorado.
Kidpower has partnered with Safe Passage as its safety education provider since both agencies began in 1994. This innovative model allows Kidpower to best meet the needs of families as their healing begins. As always, Kidpower also continues to prioritize our very important risk reduction/prevention work to help all kids be safe, confident, and strong.
A longtime dream, Kidpower integrates our administrative offices and training space in one location. The new space gives Kidpower the opportunity to expand services and train more kids and their caregivers in our unique, positive, upbeat, and age-appropriate way.
