It Takes a Village

Kudos to Danielle Taylor, It Takes a Village’s Crime Survivors Program Manager. She helps men and women who have been victims of crimes. Some of them are moms who have survived domestic violence and are struggling to take care of their children. Thanks to Rocky Mountain Diaper Depot for their diaper donations.

It Takes a Village takes our mission of reducing health and social disparities among people of color in the Denver metro area very seriously. We address the very disproportionate number of people of color impacted by HIV by providing financial assistance, case management, mental health and substance abuse therapy, linking people to medical care and treatment. We address racism, homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia, and bigotry of all kinds with groups for gay Black men and transgender women of color, among others. Our participants come from all backgrounds and services are provided in Spanish as well as English. Likewise, our staff and board reflect our clients and the communities we serve.
