Welcome

Ralston House is dedicated to helping children and teens heal from the trauma of sexual, physical and/or emotional abuse.  It is the only child advocacy center in Jefferson County, Colorado and is a lifeline for some of Colorado's most vulnerable citizens . . . innocent children and adolescents who have been abused.

Mission

The mission of Ralston House is to provide professional, comprehensive services for sexually, physically and/or emotionally abused children and their families in a safe place, so they can share their stories and begin to heal.

How We Help

Ralston House helps young people and their families start the healing process after being violated in the most vicious and horrifying of crimes.  Ralston House is a safe and friendly place where children can tell their stories and receive medical care, victim advocacy services and emotional support.  Services are in collaboration with law enforcement and social services.


Ralston House
Child Advocacy Center
serving Colorado's children since 1990
1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys in the United States are sexually assaulted before their 18th birthday.

90% of child victims are assaulted by someone they know – a betrayal of innocence by a person in a position of trust.
Children who are sexually abused and
don’t receive help are at a greater risk than
the general population of attempting
suicide, developing eating disorders, abusing drugs and alcohol, and becoming an abuser themselves.  We are able to reduce the
trauma to children, assist the legal system in efforts to hold offenders accountable, and
educate the community about the dangers
of child abuse and how to protect our children.
