We are honored to announce that Jefferson Center for Mental Health was named to Denver Post's Top Workplaces list for the fifth year in a row! 

 

The Top Workplaces program was set up to recognize companies that have a great workplace and to encourage all organizations to improve the quality of their workplace. The companies included in the Denver Post's Top Workplaces were selected from the results of the survey that employees responded to - measuring qualities such as company leadership, direction, managers, new ideas, doers, meaningfulness, ethics, clued-in senior management, communication, appreciation, work/life flexibility, training and benefits.

 

At some time or another, just like adults, all children feel anxious.  It's a part of growing up and adjusting constantly to surroundings and new experiences.  Problems, though, develop when children have a persistent and nearly constant state of anxiety about life in general, or very specific elements of what they deal with so that fear takes over and controls them and keeps them from thriving.  It can affect them in their personal life, school life, and social life.

                             

Empowering kids with the skills to solve problems, communicate, and manage their emotions in a healthy way  improves their mental health the rest of their life.  That's central to the philosophy of the School-Based Prevention Services in the 50 schools, and 750 classrooms reached through a partnership between Jefferson Center for Mental Health and Jeffco, Gilpin and Clear Creek Public Schools since the program began.
