Juvenile Assessment Center - Centennial, Colorado

The JAC is very prompt in their response to referrals. They are willing to come to our school which is helpful to our families. They are able to gain trust of our students in a short amount of time and gain valuable information that guides us in how to support students. They also provide follow up with families and help get them connected to services. Very good agency for our community.

The Juvenile Assessment Center works promptly and efficiently into recognizing needs of individuals and their family. Their holistic approach to supporting the environment in totality for the needs of each child has helped so many students. The Center's social workers and other professionals communicate and collaborate with school staff to provide multiple avenues of support without stressful binding or confusing language to parents.

All referrals I have made to help families have been addressed based on specific concerns. Whether this be only a phone call to connect with supports, or wrap around services addressing multiple therapies across different agencies including OT, counseling and behavioral supports.

I am so grateful for their resources and commitment to helping others as opposed to making families lives more difficult.

I refer families to the JAC often, many at their points of highest need. The families always come back to thank me for sending them to a team that cares so deeply and not only provide so many resources, but also help with accessing them. I cannot say enough good things about this place or these people. Some of the most talented, insightful and empathetic professionals you will ever engage.

As a school counselor, I have been able to refer students and families to the JAC and CAP programs. They are able to effectively connect those referred with insights and resources that best fit their situation.

The Juvenile Assessment Center’s Community Assessment Program (CAP) has set the standard for excellence in community-based support over the past 20 years I have worked with their team. I truly believe, this program exemplifies what true collaboration looks like, working seamlessly with families, youth, and partner organizations to deliver impactful, culturally responsive services.

CAP’s strength-based approach is one of its hallmarks, meeting individuals where they are and empowering them to achieve their goals. Their team demonstrates an unparalleled commitment to confidentiality and professionalism, ensuring that every interaction is built on trust and respect.

One of the program’s greatest assets is its deep institutional knowledge, developed over two decades of dedicated service. This expertise enables CAP to provide families with timely, high-quality resources tailored to their unique needs. Their ability to connect individuals to these resources reflects a genuine understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the community.

The CAP team’s follow-through is exemplary. They don’t just identify solutions—they remain engaged throughout the process, ensuring that families and youth experience real, lasting results.

CAP’s legacy of collaboration and culturally attuned practices makes it a model program for others to follow. I wholeheartedly recommend their services and look forward to seeing the continued positive impact they will undoubtedly bring to the community.
