Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We want to bring healing experiences and programs to people that participate in our programs. We want them to know that life is worth living. That all things pass and that there are things that they can do to learn to enjoy life and live life to the fullest. We want them to know that they are not alone that we care and we can put them on a path to healing.

Our strategies include providing FREE therapeutic healing programs involving animal interactions and ocean programs. We also spend time speaking with people on a one on one basis, speaking to them about our own personal experiences of losing loved ones to suicide and attempts of suicide so that they can learn from our heartbreaks and trials and tribulations and do not have to suffer like we did.

We have several facilities and business programs that allow us to take participants on these programs at low and reduced costs, in some cases no fees at all.

We have educated over 50,000 people at numerous events, we have been out doing public education programs in our community. We have held community outreach events at our home letting people know in our community that we are available as a resource. We have helped numerous people in healing treatments and programs, all have been very deeply grateful and told us that we have made a difference.
