When Behavior Tells a Story
Helping Kids Heal from Trauma, Instability, and Emotional Distress
Children don’t always have the language to describe what they’re feeling—but their behavior often reveals what words can’t. You may be seeing sudden outbursts, emotional shutdowns, or growing anxiety. You may feel like you’ve tried everything—and still, your child seems overwhelmed, unreachable, or unlike themselves.
Common signs a child may be struggling include:
- Intense mood swings or reactive behavior
- Difficulties with attention, learning, or school adjustment
- Anxiety around peers, separation, or safety
- Social withdrawal or trouble connecting with others
- Emotional dysregulation that feels hard to understand or manage
These aren’t just difficult behaviors. They’re signals—rooted in pain, fear, or confusion. And at Griffith Centers, we listen.
Rooted in Experience. Focused on Healing.
Therapy That Responds to the Realities Kids Are Facing Today
For nearly 100 years, Griffith Centers has worked with Colorado’s most vulnerable children—those navigating foster care, abuse, neglect, systemic instability, and trauma. As a leading provider of child welfare services, Griffith programs are grounded in trauma-responsive care and built on decades of experience.
We meet children where they are—whether in foster placements, in school settings, at home, or online. Our work is guided by one core belief: healing happens when kids feel safe enough to be seen, heard, and understood.
When Bullying or Peer Harm Causes Lasting Damage
Support for Children Impacted by Peer Aggression—Online or Offline
Bullying isn’t just a school issue—it’s a safety issue. When a child is targeted or excluded by peers, the emotional effects can be profound and long-lasting. We help children who have been harmed begin to rebuild a sense of safety and self-worth. And when aggression shows up in a child’s own behavior, we work to understand the pain underneath it—not just manage the symptoms.
Mental Health Support for Students with IEPs and Learning Differences
Therapy That Honors Emotional and Cognitive Needs Together
Struggles in the classroom often reflect emotional challenges—not just academic ones. Children with IEPs, 504 plans, or other learning supports are often misunderstood or overlooked, especially when their distress shows up as defiance or withdrawal.
At Griffith Centers, we help children understand themselves not as “problems to fix,” but as people who deserve support. We work closely with schools and families to bridge emotional and educational needs—so kids can access the full spectrum of care they need to succeed.
We Take Insurance

You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone
Real Support for Children—and Their Families
When a child is hurting, the entire family feels it. Therapy can be a path to healing—not just for the child, but for caregivers, too.
At Griffith Centers, we walk with families through some of their most difficult moments. We know this path isn’t always easy. But you don’t have to walk it alone—and your child doesn’t either.
Let’s take the next step together.
