Historically, child abuse victims were required to tell their story multiple times to different agencies, forcing children to relive their traumatic experiences, often creating additional stress and anxiety for the child and their family. River Bridge Regional Center is a child-friendly facility where a multidisciplinary team coordinates to work with children and their families, and uses the collective knowledge and expertise of the team to improve the response and investigation to child abuse allegations.

River Bridge is a cottage-style center that enhances children’ s sense of safety and comfort while helping to lower anxiety. The center is designed to reduce stress on child abuse survivors and to improve the effectiveness of the response to child abuse allegations. We are making a significant, positive difference in the lives of children and families in Eagle, Garfield, Pitkin, and Rio Blanco Counties. We also serve surrounding counties and communities when the need arises.

River Bridge provides collaborative services to child abuse victims, their families, and the community in a supportive environment through a child-centered approach.
