December 2024 Newsletter

Dear Friends and Supporters,

This time of year is often one for reflection, looking back across the year past. Thanks to your support, and that of many others, we have been able to accomplish so much this year.

• We added additional clinical staff, allowing us to see more clients in areas of most need.

• We trained two staff in the use of video games in therapy and received a grant to expand their training and train two more, as well as add the equipment needed (special thanks to the Inspirational Futures Foundation!).

• We trained three staff on an emerging form of therapy for trauma – Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories – which carries tremendous promise for our work (expect to hear more about this in the months to come).

• We completed some internal renovation work that has made the Center welcoming place for our clients and employees… and much, much more.

We could do all these, and more, because of caring people like you, who support us in many ways, not the least of which is through our giving campaigns and our Old Bags Luncheon. We are grateful.

As we look forward to the new year, in the words of Göran Persson (former PM of Sweden), “Let our New Year’s resolution be this: We will be there for one another as fellow members of humanity, in the finest sense of the word.”

Warmly,
