Center for Trauma and Resilience

In March 1983, the Denver Medical Society and the Denver District Attorney’s Crime Advisory Commission elected to act as a forum for the development of a coordinated resource network in Denver to respond to the needs of victims of violence. A task force on victims of crime was formed. After lengthy research and thoughtful discussion, the task force concluded that a victims’ resource center was the most likely way to reach the maximum number of victims, provide the most reliable medical and mental health referral services, function best in offering crisis intervention, and most effectively develop awareness of victims concerns. The result was the creation of Denver Victims Service Center.

In 2003, the agency changed its name to The Denver Center for Crime Victims. The Center’s purpose is to provide culturally and linguistically responsive 24-hour crisis intervention and to develop and provide services not currently being offered, such as trauma recovery counseling, crisis intervention, case management, support groups, emergency financial assistance, advocacy and information and referral. The Denver Center for Crime Victims was incorporated January 15, 1987, with a strong funding commitment from the Denver Victim Assistance Law Enforcement Board. DCCV has been providing services since October 6, 1987, serving over 165,000 victims of crime to date.

Movement 5280

Movement 5280 was launched in 2010 by Denver First Church of the Nazarene. A layman, Jon Tinniswood, who was a counselor at Third Way Youth Treatment Center shared with the Church’s Pastor at the time, Shawn Siegfreid that youth, many from the foster care system, and aging out from treatment centers, detention and shelters, and foster care itself, were homeless on the streets of Denver. He dreamt of a day center in Denver that would become a safe and trusted place for homeless youth.

Pastor Shawn brought Jon Tinniswood and Tina Hayhurst, youth pastor at Denver First Church together and they began dreaming together and within three months, we rented a small building on South Colorado Boulevard and Colfax that we named Movement 5280. Jon continued as a therapist at Third Way, encouraging youth involvement at Movement 5280, and Tina became Executive Director. Within weeks, 30-40 youth from treatment centers and unhoused came weekly to have a “family meal” and play video games, pool, and rest. Movement 5280 created programs designed to provide a “family of support” for youth and young adults, who had very little support system to help navigate the path to adulthood: a clothing bank, food pantry, mentorship, volunteerism and ownership. Movement 5280 opened once a week to the unhoused community, all ages, for a hot meal and resources, and our youth became the servers and helpers. We also took people interested in attending church each Sunday to Denver First church.
