Holistic plant, animal, and art therapy

Recovery is grounded in meaningful connection with the environment. Participants engage with our farm animals, nurture diverse crops, and turn recycled materials and dried paint fordite into original art. These restorative activities foster emotional regulation, confidence, and routine in a supportive, trauma-informed setting.

Education and career pathways

We prepare participants for permanent self-sufficiency. From interview clothing resources and professional resume writing to academic assistance, every participant is supported in completing a certificate or degree before graduation. Simply submit an application online, and our staff will reach out to schedule an intake interview.
