Chase House Boulder
Youth Residential Treatment program
Chase House is a state-licensed Qualified Residential Treatment Program serving youth ages 12-18. In a safe, home-like atmosphere, Chase House provides respite to 10 adolescents at a time who have been placed by the state due to family disruption.
Through individualized support, youth at Chase House continue their education, develop essential life skills, receive physical and mental health services, and participate in family counseling if appropriate. The program integrates deep therapeutic work with meaningful community engagement. Youth participate in both individual and group activities designed to build social skills and provide enriching recreational experiences. This holistic approach prepares them for their next chapter, whether reuniting with family, joining a foster home, or taking steps toward independent living.
