The Western Slope Center for Children (aka "Center for Children") provides collaborative services to child abuse victims and their families. Each year, the Center for Children serves 300+ children in cases involving child abuse allegations, ranging from sexual abuse to physical abuse & neglect, drug endangerment, witness to domestic violence & homicide, and much more. The Center for Children has a team of professionals across five core areas of service dedicated to providing child victims and their families help, hope, and healing. Working alongside strong community partnerships, the Center for Children seeks to ensure that children whose voices are silenced by their abuser will once again have them restored.

🌟Feature Friday🌟

Meet investigator Jenna Reed with the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office. Investigator Reed has been with the sheriff’s office for 25 years, and has served as an investigator for 8 of those years. Within those years, Jenna has helped countless victims and been a fierce advocate for them. Jenna’s favorite part about the work that she does is speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves.

When not working, Jenna enjoys traveling and exploring new places. ✈️🏝️

When asked about her favorite part about working with the Center and the Multi-disciplinary team, Jenna said that she enjoys collaborating with various individuals in order to build a strong case for the victims that she serves.

During this season of warmth and hope, we would like to thank all those special groups who continually support us in bringing help, hope, and healing to child victims here in Mesa County!

The Rocky Mountain Health Foundation (RMHF) was originally the brainchild of Rocky Mountain Health Plans (RMHP). RMHP was developed decades ago on the concept that healthy living should be accessible to all. The foundation that was later formed embodied this idea, becoming a statewide supporter of building a healthier society. Today, RMHF addresses critical access services for physical health, behavioral health, and basic needs in underserved communities.

On behalf of our board, staff, contractors, and clients, thank you to United Way of Mesa County for constantly being a difference maker for children and their families!

It's the homestretch for Colorado Gives 2025! This philanthropic effort, made possible by the wonderful Colorado Gives Foundation and people like you, provides support to countless Colorado nonprofits each year. The 2025 window for giving closes by the end of Tuesday, December 9th, where donations made to applicable organizations receive a percentage-based match by an incentive fund.

If you haven't supported a nonprofit through Colorado Gives before, perhaps you will consider us. The *Western Slope Center for Children is a nationally-accredited child advocacy center that provides support for child abuse victims and their family members. This year, we've already eclipsed the total number of Mesa County children served in all of 2024.

Be part of the Help, Hope, and Healing that happens here. Visit c4cdonate.org to donate today!

Across seven decades, the United Way of Mesa County has played a pivotal role in this community by supporting the services of countless programs that offer assistance to those who need them. Ours is just one of those fortunate programs. Their core areas of impact--financial security, healthy communities, youth opportunities, and community resilience--are driven by a hope for collaboration that addresses community needs in education, information, and referrals. While they would be the first to tell you that no one organization can provide all the human services a community requires, we want to recognize UWMC for their constant belief and inspiration that a network of agencies united can.

On behalf of our board, staff, contractors, and clients, thank you to United Way of Mesa County for constantly being a difference maker for children and their families!

The Center for Children

The Center for Children (the Center) is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization whose purpose is to facilitate and coordinate the work of existing governmental agencies and independent service providers to meet the needs of children who have been sexually abused, severely physically abused, or who are witnesses to violence.

The Center provides a safe, child-friendly environment to facilitate the interviewing of children who are victims of abuse and neglect as well as provides direct, supportive services to victims and families or appropriate referrals to community agencies. In Mesa County, more than 300 children a year are harmed by sexual or physical abuse. These children need the careful attention of professionals trained to address their special needs. With your support, the Center allows service providers and professionals to come to the child instead of the child and family having to go from agency to agency.
