About Us

Sample Supports was founded on the belief that everyone deserves to live a full and meaningful life—on their own terms. Since day one, we’ve been committed to breaking down barriers and building opportunities for people with developmental disabilities, mental health needs, and their families. We started as a small team who thought the system could do better. Instead of limiting choices, we asked, “What would it look like to design supports around the individual, not the other way around?” That question has guided us ever since. At Sample Supports, you’ll find a culture that’s different—one that blends professionalism with personality, humor, and heart. We believe in rolling up our sleeves, being creative, and never accepting “that’s just the way it’s done” as an answer. Whether it’s in our behavioral health services, residential programs, day programs, or employment supports, we focus on real outcomes: independence, inclusion, and authentic relationships. We’re proud to be Colorado-grown, with roots deep in the communities we serve. Our approach combines evidence-based practices with a commitment to fun, adventure, and the belief that growth happens when people are engaged, supported, and challenged. Our mission is simple but bold: to create innovative, individualized, and genuine supports that empower people to thrive in their homes, workplaces, and communities.

Sample Supports Operating Values

We believe that no person is “too challenging” to be in the community and design comprehensive programming to reflect this. We fiercely advocate for community-based services while holding a respected professional reputation in the community.
We believe that competition raises the bar of service delivery and we act in alignment with this belief. We constantly try new things with a high risk tolerance. We aren’t afraid to fail and try something different.
We do what we say we will do with our teams, families and the people we serve. We work quickly with a sense of urgency until it is done and done well. We understand that dropping the ball creates distrust and more work for ourselves and others.
At our core, we are each expert problem solvers that utilize excellent judgment. We expect each other to solve our own problems that will create the best outcomes possible.
We create meaningful and creative community-based programs to provide services to people who are underserved in our communities.
We always align ourselves upward and work with the following hierarchy in mind: 1) for the organization and people we serve 2) for our teams 3) for ourselves.
We expect a positive morale from each other at all times. We hold ourselves and each other to solution-based discussions that propels the team forward.
We operate without anonymity or confidentiality in our teams. We are a transparent company that operates with full professional disclosure. We stand behind what we say at all times and are accountable to our words and actions.
We own our area of domain and embrace increased responsibility. We understand that pressure that isn’t contained will “bleed sideways” and “rise up” and we work to ensure our peers and leaders do not suffer due to our lapse in containment.
We embrace change, flexibility, and growth. We are constantly pushing ourselves to be the best service provider in the industry that others can strive to emulate.
