Refer a Client or Yourself to GENESIS

Please complete our referral form to refer women or to apply for the Boulder County Public Health GENESIS program yourself.

Boulder County Public Health encourages frontline workers, advocates, and governments to partner with us in our efforts to assist pregnant and parenting teens throughout their pregnancy and in the early parenting years.

Our Family Support Specialists are former teen parents who have overcome the obstacles of parenting at an early age. They are strong role models for young parents. The social work staff is available to provide short-term and crisis counseling to clients and to conduct initial intakes and assessments. The GENESIS nurse teaches birthing classes, provides breastfeeding education and support, and helps clients access needed medical care for themselves or their children.

Staff is available to meet with clients in the comfort of their homes, at GENESIS offices, or at neutral sites. Services are tailored to each family’s specific needs.
