Connecting emerging adults with their personal hopes and dreams for the future.

AIM House is an individualized, young adult transitional living program. Our program is designed for the individual who is transitioning from residential treatment centers, primary treatment, wilderness programs, and therapeutic boarding schools. We provide a structured living environment and a supportive, personalized program. AIM House is a leader in the world of transitional living and is celebrated for our ability to truly help find and connect participants to what they are passionate about.

The History and Philosophy of AIM House

With Co Founder Danny Conroy

“My wife Mae and I started AIM House in 1999 because there were very few places that taught participants and families how to re-integrate into the world and how to put into practice the things that they would learn”

 

Located next to the University of Colorado

  • Boulder, Colorado

    Our facilities are nestled in the foothills of the awe-inspiring Rocky Mountains in enchanting Boulder, Colorado. AIM House is just a 30-minute car ride from Denver and within an hour of Denver’s International Airport. Boulder offers its residents a rich blend of cultural, educational, professional and recreational opportunities.

    In addition, this charming city is an outdoor mecca that boasts over 300 days of sunshine a year, serene alpine surroundings, breathtaking scenery and easy access to hiking, biking, camping, rock climbing, rafting, skiing, and snow shoeing. Well known for its diversity, open-mindedness and sense of small-town community, Boulder provides balanced living and possibilities for everyone.

    More About Location

  • Residential

    The Castle was originally built in 1928 to function as a sorority. Currently the building functions as a multi-ed residence that hosts male identifying participants on the second floor and non-male identifying participants on the third floor. AIM House has worked to create a safe home for lgbtqa and gender fluid participants.

    Shannon’s House is located next door to The Castle and serves as a residence for participants in the Merge Phase of our program. The house is also multi-ed and includes a common room, kitchen, sunroom, and bedrooms.

    The Castle has a commercial kitchen that serves breakfast lunch and dinner all week, a spacious common room, offices for staff, group therapy rooms, foosball, pool tables, and more.

  • Our Community

    “I think we (AIM) are very inclusive. When new people come in I think we do a good job of making sure they feel included and safe. It’s literally the least cliquey program I’ve ever been in, and I’ve been in a few. There has never been another participant who I felt like I couldn’t approach or talk to. I think I am going to have lasting friends from this community. This is the first place where I have felt comfortable enough to be really myself. This has to do with the work I’ve done here but also largely with the community I have found here” — Past Participant

Our Services

 

Group, Individual, and Family Therapy

Without intentions, it's very difficult to set goals. Therefore, we believe it's imperative to clearly realize and state our intentions. An intention may be as simple as time management; however, it is the foundation which paves the way for other goals to materialize.

Academic Mentoring and Access to Academic Institutions

Participants overcome academic hurdles that developed when they were living a life lacking in congruence between intentions and actions. Academic goals are self-driven, and participants maintain their own schedules as they establish themselves as leaders in the AIM House community.

Integrative Psychiatry, Relapse Prevention and Support

Setting and accomplishing personal goals is not easy when one has a history of sabotaging themselves with destructive behaviors. We come face-to-face with what's getting in the way of actualizing personal success.

Vocational Coaching and Creative Internships

Participants spend time building a stronger support network outside of AIM House as they gradually move into greater degrees of independence and responsibility. Participants see the fruition of their hard work while under the support of an AIM House mentors, their therapist, and the participant community.

 

Executive Functioning and Life Skills Coaching

We create an environment where participants experience success in maintaining their individual schedules while making progress toward therapeutic goals. Participants co-create and follow through with a 30-40 hr. per week schedule of well-defined commitments.

Health and Wellness Instruction, Positive Peer Support

We help participants design and implement a wellness plan based on healthy coping skills for new and challenging situations. Participants develop the capacity to recognize and articulate patterns within themselves and their family system.

We encourage potential participants and their families to schedule an on-site interview to tour our facilities and meet the AIM House team.

How can we say “thank you” for… your comfort, your compassion, and your concern? How can we say “thank you” for… your honesty, support, and knowledge? How can we say “thank you” for being there with our son when we couldn’t? How can we say “thank you” for saving our son’s life?

A simple “thank you” doesn’t seem enough and a thousand “thank you’s” don’t measure the extent of our appreciation. So please take comfort and pride in knowing that you touched a young man’s life, his parent’s hearts, and that the only words we can think of at this time to express our gratitude are simply, ”thank you.”

— AIM House Parent

 

“Thank you for creating a place where it’s okay to struggle. I learned an enormous amount about life while at AIM House. You and your family made being away from–or at odds with–my family much more bearable. Thanks for being a great friend and sounding board.”

— AIM House Participant

“Thank you all for providing our son with a wonderful experience and a ‘home-away-from-home’. This past nine months really proved to me just how far Dave has come, and just how ready he is to take on adult responsibilities. I am looking forward to this Father’s Day in a way that I haven’t for many, many years.”

— AIM House Parent

 

“We are grateful and appreciative to your program for helping us make this crucial transition and giving us skills to work through conflicts and to anticipate potential problems. We found the parent weekends extremely worthwhile educationally as well providing the valuable opportunity to meet other parents and participants. The staff has reached out like family in their commitment and genuine concern for our daughter. Reflecting back, the past year was critical for our family and with the help of AIM House, it was one of growth, and restoring relationships. Our best regards to you and your staff for the work you do.”

— AIM House Parent
