WellPower - Nursing

As a nonprofit organization, WellPower provides a full range of outpatient behavioral health services including therapy, counseling, psychiatry, and comprehensive mental health support beyond traditional offerings. The organization recently updated its mission, vision, and guiding principles to reflect its evolving commitment to the Denver community. Nursing roles at WellPower involve providing direct nursing services, mental health assessments, and treatment to individuals with severe and persistent mental health needs, often in crisis settings. Nurses also coordinate consumers' use of other WellPower programs and outside community resources. For nurses, WellPower offers a non-traditional environment compared to hospital settings. The organization emphasizes holidays and weekends off with flexible scheduling, a supportive nursing team, and collaboration within interdisciplinary teams. Nurses have the opportunity to build rapport and continuity with the people they serve. WellPower has been named a Top Workplace by the Denver Post for over 10 consecutive years. One LPN staff member noted that after 10 years of experience and significant burnout at other workplaces, WellPower stood out as an exception. The organization is committed to fair and equitable hiring with transparent salary ranges based on experience, education, and licensure rather than wage history.

WellPower is a mission-driven organization focused on transforming lives in the Denver community through mental health, well-being, and comprehensive behavioral health support. The organization recently revised its mission, vision, and guiding principles to better define its purpose and shape its approach at every level of work. Its culture is built on trauma-informed, culturally relevant behavioral health services, with a strong emphasis on wellness, inclusivity, and meaningful community impact.
