Shelters

Roots of Courage (ROC) by Family Tree, Inc.

3805 Marshall Street, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033

Website: www.thefamilytree.org
Phone: 303.420.6752

About
Family Tree Roots of Courage is a confidential, residential facility for survivors of domestic violence and those with children. When in shelter, we aim to keep survivors safe by providing advocacy, safety planning, community resources, health care, and other supportive services for children and their parents.

Services

  • A confidential place to stay
  • Access to basic needs
  • One-on-one advocacy to address trauma, receive information and community resources
  • On-site health care
  • Support groups

It is Family Tree’s intent to provide shelter services to all survivors of domestic violence in need and who are in imminent danger from their intimate partners, including all gender identities, the LGBTQIA+ community, and all racial and ethnic backgrounds.

The best way for Family Tree to assist is to have the survivor call our 24-hour domestic violence crisis line to speak directly with an advocate. The advocate will complete a phone assessment with the caller to make sure the shelter services are appropriate for the caller’s needs, and then the advocate will offer safety planning, referrals to other agencies that may be able to best assist, and/or assist with a plan to arrive at Roots of Courage safely.
