About Us

ATV provides essential supportive services to any one impacted by violence.  This can include advocacy, counseling, information and referrals to local resources, emergency shelter and in some cases longer term housing.  While the majority of our clients are victims of domestic violence, we also provide services to people that have witnessed a crime, suicide, or other traumatic events that have negatively affected them.

Alternatives to Violence was established in 1983 and is registered with the Colorado Secretary of State as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization.
