DAYS started as part of a city-wide collaboration to meet the needs of children, youth, and families in and around Denver dealing with juvenile delinquency, child abuse and neglect, teen pregnancy, and foster care.
More than 40 years later, although needs have changed, DAYS remains committed to serving children, youth, and families. Over the last 10 years behavioral and mental health has become a central focus. DAYS has shifted its response due to greater awareness and an understanding that behavioral and mental health plays a pivotal role in individual and family safety, health, and wellness.
For the past 10 years, we have sought to provide behavioral and mental health services to children, youth, and families in an effort to strengthen the foundation for individual health and wellbeing, positive family relationships and dynamics, community safety, and prosocial behavior.

Requirements to become a foster parent
You must meet minimum requirements to provide foster care for children in Colorado. Foster parents for children and families must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Maintain sufficient income to support a family
- Have physical and mental capability to care for children and youth
- Pass a child abuse background and criminal background check
- Work with a treatment team and undergo future training
- Complete a Home Study
Prospective foster families can contact a Colorado child placement agency or your local Department of Human Services. Social workers in these child welfare agencies will provide information about Colorado's child welfare system, foster care, and the adoption process.
Social workers recommended that other adults and children in your home agree to provide long-term home care, too. If everyone is ready to welcome a new child, your local agency will help your home become an approved foster home.
