Colorado Children's Program
The Colorado Children’s Program is facilitated by Jerry Moe and Carole Johnson.
Our Children's Program is primary prevention. We proactively interrupt the multi-generational legacy of addiction. We provide a "child-centered" family process.

During the four-day program, children develop a variety of problem-solving, coping and self-care strategies that help them take good care of themselves and stay safe when they return home. Parents join the children during the last two days of the program and also participate in their own parent group. Family members share their feelings about the disease with each other through structured activities. They then make plans to take better care of themselves and each other.
The children and their families are referred to local continuing care programs at the end of the four-day program. Through continuing care, family members reinforce their new skills in self-care, communication and self worth. They build and deepen their resiliency to face everyday challenges in healthy, balanced ways.
