Community Outreach
In response to the growing need for mental health support and education in our community, we partner with trusted providers to offer programs and educational opportunities that serve those in need in the Mad River Valley and Waterbury areas. Our therapeutic, educational and outreach programs are available to the community at no cost because of the generosity of our donors.
