Word of Thanks - Next with Kyle Clark Fundraiser

OUR MISSION:  To holistically help individuals build healthier lives from the inside out. 
OUR VISION: Empowering participants to make healthy and safe decisions through trauma, gender, and culturally responsive holistic public health services.

The Empowerment Program has been serving cis and trans women in the Denver metro area for nearly 40 years. While our primary focus is on women, we also provide services to men and actively support the LGBTQ+ community.

What sets us apart from other organizations is our commitment to helping everyone who seeks our assistance; we never turn anyone away. All our services are free of charge, and we offer personalized care within a broader safety net of services in a secure environment. Additionally our non-exclusionary approach ensures that there are no rigorous criteria for service qualification, allowing us to quickly enroll individuals into our programs, unlike other agencies where longer wait times are common. Many of our participants consider Empowerment to be like a family due to the individualized continuum of care they receive along with our wrap-around services which acts as a safety net.

At The Empowerment Program, we focus on meeting people where they’re at, and encouraging realistic options for reducing harm in sexual activity and drug usage so individuals can use what works for them. Some of the harm reduction strategies we use include HIV/HCV/STI testing, PrEP Navigation, sexual wellness, sharps disposal, Narcan for the community, and safer drug usage kits that reduce bloodborne pathogen transmission. Alongside our harm reduction program, we also assist individuals in overcoming barriers in receiving HIV healthcare services through individualized case management. 

To continue providing optimal wrap-around specialized services and continued individual care plans to our growing population, we are in need additional funds that are not covered by city, state or federal grants to assist with the housing, health, employment, and education needs of our participants.
