River Bridge Regional Center, Inc.

What River Bridge Regional Center, Inc. does

River Bridge Regional Center, Inc. (RBRC) is a Colorado-incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit and nationally accredited child advocacy center founded in December 2007 (own 501(c)(3) status awarded September 2012). It operates the only child advocacy center between Frisco and Grand Junction, serving Eagle, Garfield, Pitkin, and Rio Blanco Counties in Western Colorado—an area of approximately 8,855 square miles—and serves surrounding counties when need arises. Since opening, RBRC has served more than 3,376 children and over 5,000 caregivers, with approximately 200 child referrals per year.

The organization delivers a child-focused multidisciplinary team (MDT) model that combines forensic interviews, family advocacy, mental health therapy (notably evidence-based Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), pediatric medical exams, and community prevention education under one coordinated response. Services are delivered free of charge at two Glenwood Springs facilities (520 and 504 21st Street), with the original cottage built for $600,000 by Garfield County Commissioners and opened in December 2007, and a second facility opened January 2018. The Mountain West SANE Alliance (MWSA), a sexual assault nurse examiner program covering adolescent and adult victims, was integrated under RBRC's umbrella on January 1, 2018, and has handled over 320 calls and 159+ medical forensic exams since 2017. The organization is accredited by the National Children's Alliance (October 2010, re-accredited 2015 and 2020).

RBRC does not generate revenue from client fees. Operating funding is sourced from a diversified mix of foundation grants (Aspen Community Foundation, El Pomar Foundation, Rocky Mountain Health Foundation), government funding (Colorado Department of Criminal Justice VOCA, county appropriations from Garfield County Board of Commissioners and municipal partners), corporate giving (notably a five-year Phil Long Glenwood Springs Subaru Share the Love partnership totaling $83,500 in cumulative donations), individual donations, and annual fundraising events (the Imagine benefit gala, Bingo nights, fishing fundraiser). A $500,000+ Bridge to Their Futures capital campaign (completed ~2019) financed the second facility renovation, added staff and programs, and built an operating reserve. Operations are led by Executive Director Blythe Chapman, MA, LPC (in role since August 2011), with a Board of Directors of eight members and a staff of approximately seven plus four MWSA nurses.
