Imagine a place...
One place where domestic violence victims can be heard. One place where there is safety, support, and services for the profound effects of abuse. One place to rebuild and heal.
The Rose Andom Center - One place. Immeasurable hope.
As just one example of the miracles that happen at Rose Andom Center, we were recently working with a young woman with a newborn child. The child was in the hospital, and the young woman, a single mother, was able to utilize the fact that her baby was in safe hands to seek services regarding the abusive relationship she had been in.
The client was initially interested in discussing a civil protection order and finding out about custody. Working with a Rose Andom Center Intake Specialist, the legal advocate helped arrange transportation from the hospital to the Rose Andom Center. Once at the Center, the young woman was able to fill out protection order paperwork in a safe, calm atmosphere, discuss next steps for custody, begin the referral for additional legal services, and begin safety planning.
The client's phone had been taken by the abuser, and in coordination with a Denver Police Department victim advocate, the woman was provided with a Verizon Hopeline phone.
During the discussion with the legal advocate, the woman mentioned that she had been trying to get paperwork submitted for TANF, food stamps, and other available benefits. We were able to coordinate a meeting with Denver Department of Human Services immediately, and their representative started the benefits application process. While the new client was waiting, she was able to eat and relax in the same and comforting space that the Rose Andom Center offers.
Next, we were able to provide some bus tickets and other supplies (baby bottles, hygiene and feminine products) to help meet her basic needs. Finally, transportation back to the hospital was arranged. All these services were provided in the space of one morning.
The Rose Andom Center improves the lives of domestic violence and sexual assault victims by facilitating better access to services and staff of community organizations and government agencies in a single, safe location.
The Rose Andom Center opened in the summer of 2016 as the first Family Justice Center in the Rocky Mountain region. Its opening was the culmination of nearly a decade of collaboration among community members working toward a shared goal: bringing essential services for survivors of domestic violence together under one roof.
As a public/private partnership, the Rose Andom Center’s collaborative model brings together six government and more than twenty community-based organizations in one building to meet the needs of survivors and their families. By co-locating critical services, the Center reduces barriers and helps families escape the cycle of violence and begin to heal.
In 2025, the Rose Andom Center expanded its services to include support for victims of sexual assault in addition to survivors of domestic violence. This growth allows us to better serve individuals and families experiencing interpersonal violence in all its forms. Survivors can access safety planning, counseling for themselves and their children, temporary protection orders and other civil legal options, and can also meet with a police detective or advocate.
The Rose Andom Center is a place for finding help during moments of crisis and in the months that follow, as survivors rebuild their lives with safety, stability, and hope.
