I go here 2x a week for groups. I love the staff and the atmosphere. They really can and do meet most of your needs. If you ask and make an appointment you can get hygiene, they do std testing, they have snacks for most groups. I told them I just got an apartment and one of the ladies bought me a comforter set, an air mattress, and a pillow set.
I like attending classes here and I win gift cards just for attending and winning a raffle at the end of class they also have hygiene assistance which I loved because they have so much good body washes, tooth paste, shampoo, conditioner, pretty much everything you can think of they have it for free.
They are amazing people who genuinely and truly care. My case manager is so helpful and they do so much for me.. And the women who go there for services. Also, the women that work there, you guys are amazing!
Very friendly and compassionate staff, that will and want to help you reach your goals. They also have many different resources that you can utilize, like housing, employment,bus passes, clothing, etc.
This place is nice if you live in a shelter, or already have some type of housing. But if you are truly homeless, living on the streets, there is no help for you. If you are trying to not relapse, have a mental condition, on probation, recovering drug addict, they dont care. They just want you to attend their classes so they can continue to get big grant money to pad their pockets. Like most places in Denver that advertise help its just for money and show. Im giving 2 stars because the people are kind.
Very supportive for us in the community supportive of me as a client came a long way since I first started the empowerment program if I can give them 10 Stars I would keep up with great work
Very good agency that helps women from all walks of life, and will support their emotional and mental needs
Great people. They will help with whatever they can they are good people who have huge hearts. I love my case manager Delcia and I appreciate how wonderful they all have been threw the times i am going threw these people are amazing.
DO NOT RENT to anyone on this program!!! Empowerment does not care about how the tenants take care of the property. I begged them to come out and look at the house after it was tagged in the bedrooms. After the tenant moved out I called the director Julie, seven times to no avail. Now am left with thousands of dollars in damages and no where to turn. Hope no one is ever in this situation.
I used to live on 17th Street with my ex I would go to the Empowerment Program to get some help. My case worker was Joycee Kennedy. She was an awesome person who at that time during 2004 was in charge of the women group in the afternoon for women domestic violence abuse. It was a pleasure for her to work on my case to help me to get through my situation with my ex. I love all the women in the group. They were so nice and so caring. Each of their stories were sad, but I know I wasn’t alone and I enjoy to hear what they have to say about their situation. I’m no longer live in Denver, Colorado.I always come back to visit. When I do I will stop by to hug each of these ladies because they had helped my family so much in the past. Thank you! I am doing well.I haven’t give up on my kids. Still fighting against my abuser and my kids? Got a degree in Criminal Law currently working four jobs to support my family. I encourage new members and old members not to give up. There is always a way in your life to get though this darkness. Be smart and be wise. Life is too short to cry.
Empowerment has truly been a blessing for me! They helped me in SO MANY WAYS. They got me off the streets in less than a year, I have my own apartment in cap hill. The landlord is great there building is clean, secured, theres cameras and they dont slack on making sure there tenants needs are taking care of in every possible way. Im very proud to say that empowerment has saved my life there amazing people and I recommend it to any one whos in need of help..
Absolutely astounding how the staff work together to help ensure their clients success! Beautiful women, inside & out. They work really hard to find and help you utilize resources that are out there.
I totally love this place the women who work there are very good at what they do they are very helpful in safety as well a safe zone so no violence aloud and the testing for hiv and aids is great for the community and the public it is a really nice place to go for help
Do not move into Empowerment housing! They do nothing to protect their tenants from drug & violence related traffic on their properties! I was just assaulted trying to keep someone out of our building. There are no lights, cameras or security! Drugs & thugs run rampant in this Empowerment building. Tgey are aware of the situation & do nothing to protect or help us!
Dominique Archibeque is a truly unprofessional Program Manager/Case Manager. Stay far away from working with this woman.
Awesome place to help you with everything they can awesome people there Maria is definitely one of the best to have on your side there
I feel theyve got a lot of great services for women who r in need of help + everyone else The Empowerment Program opens their doors to also. I graduated The Empowerment Program back in November 2011.
I love the word... EMPOWERMENT!!! To be Empowered... Learning new skills, having a huge tool box full of tools and Im still collecting... Thank you for all that you all do 🌷

They are wonderful people and really help you with a lot of resources.
Very well rounded mental wellness program. Can be more successful if it was an inpatient program that accepts Medicaid.
Because the things I felt powerless over were only mildly bothering to the people I didnt want to bother at all in a bad way
This place is so wonderful they have classes that help! Staff are friendly!!
Great place. The staff genuinely wants ppl to succeed
Good place to get help and meet fun people!😁
This place has helped me out for years. The f you want to get on track this is it.
Best place for women, especially those recently released from incarceration.
Nice staff helped meet some of my needs
Same way display places help the same people over and over again instead of helping someone trying to do something for they self
Took SIX weeks of meeting my case manager to get nowhere with the help I needed!
Great place for women to feel safe and empowered
Great place for all kinds of women.
