Vive! Moves to New Headquarters in Boulder; Introduces New Contacts, National Services

BOULDER, COLO, July 12, 2007… Vive!, nationally-recognized as one of the most effective, family-focused teen transition programs in the United States, announces that it has moved its national headquarters in Boulder to 207 Canyon Boulevard, Suite 202, Boulder, Colorado, 80302. The new space enhances Vive’s ability to assist teens in transition with more private family meeting rooms, and will allow Vive! to host round table discussions and other referral and community building functions for this evolving industry. It will also allow for team growth as the company continues its expansion to assist families across the U.S.
“We now have an environment that is conducive to team building and the sharing of solutions and experiences with our many partners, be they families, practitioners and educational consultants,” described Terry Tierney, CEO. “While we profess a real life, real world approach to transitions and family health out of the office, its great to have a comfortable, shared space when we need to come together for the healing process.”
