The Denver Lions have not participated in the Lions Speech Contest for a while.   This is a worthwhile experience for the students and the Club.  We need a Lion to lead this program.  It will not take a lot of work.  The topic is chosen by LCI.  We work with the high school speech / debate teachers who judge their students speeches. We have the contact information.  The speech team will make the awards to the winners at the high school.  The high school winners will come to a Denver Lion Club meeting to speak.  The Lions at the meeting will judge the speakers and make the cash awards.   The winner of our club will go on to the district and state conventions. The work will start in January.    The Denver Lions Foundation is funding this program.  Contact Lion Fletcher Brown   C/T 303.619.8486   brownsinco@gmail.com

 

The Aspens have started turning, fall is in full swing, and it's a wonderful time of year to learn more about Savio House and what we do!  Savio House supports 10 evidence-based models of therapy.  But what exactly is an evidence-based model?  According to the Social Work Policy Institute, evidence-based models are , "a process in which the practitioner combines well-researched interventions with clinical experience and ethics, and client preferences and culture to guide and inform the delivery of treatments and services. The practitioner, researcher and client must work together in order to identify what works, for whom and under what conditions. This approach ensures that the treatments and services, when used as intended, will have the most effective outcomes as demonstrated by the research. It will also ensure that programs with proven success will be more widely disseminated and will benefit a greater number of people."

Savio House is a pioneer in the pursuit of bringing evidence-based models of therapy to Colorado and the United States.  Our success as an organization when serving children and families is rooted in the practice of these models.  The effectiveness of these well researched methods allow Savio House to maintain an 89% rate of positive, sustainable outcomes for our families.  For more information about how Savio House implements these practices everyday, visit our website, www.saviohouse.org.
