TrAUMA-iNFORMED CARE
at athletics and Beyond
At Athletics & Beyond, we understand that many young people and families in our community face daily stress, loss, and barriers that can affect how they learn, grow, and succeed. That's why we use a trauma-informed approach across all of our programs, from academics and athletics to workforce development and family wellness.
What TrAUMA-iNFORMED CARE means at athletics and Beyond
​
Safety First
We create a welcoming, predictable environment where youth feel physically and emotionally safe the moment they walk in.
Strong Relationships
Our coaches, tutors, and mentors, 100% from the communities we serve, build trust through consistency, respect, and cultural understanding.
Youth Voice & Choice
Young people help set their academic, athletic, and career goals. We support leadership, responsibility, and confidence.
Strengths-Based Support
We focus on what students do well, helping them build skills, resilience, and long-term success.
Family & Community Connection
We partner closely with parents and collaborate with organizations like Montbello Walks, Struggle of Love, MOC, Denver's Office of Children's Affairs, and Workforce Development programs to provide wraparound support.
Why This Matters
A trauma-informed approach ensures every young person feels seen, heard, and empowered. It helps us meet the whole child, mind, body, and spirit, while strengthening families and the entire Montbello community.
