Children's Resilience Fund

The Children’s Resilience Fund is dedicated to breaking barriers to mental health care for children and young adults aged 0–25. Every dollar donated goes directly to providing professional EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy services. With just $1,500, you can sponsor 10 life-changing counseling sessions for a young person in need. Smaller donations are pooled together, ensuring every contribution helps expand access to vital mental health support. Join us in building resilient futures—your generosity delivers hope, healing, and brighter tomorrows for the next generation.

Many children experience adverse life events (trauma), EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that is very effective in decreasing symptoms of trauma and increasing children's resilience, quality of life and health. Traditionally, EMDR has mostly been available in private practice setting for adults as the training is comprehensive and expensive. 

 Our staff utilizes advanced EMDR techniques with children/teens. Our program makes it possible to provide EMDR therapy to low-income children/teens who often have survived many adverse life events. One of our greatest joys is watching children heal. Some of our favorite moments are watching children/teens reconnect with their families, making friends for the first time, improving their academic achievement, believing they are a good kid who is lovable. It is amazing to see some of our more severely affected children start to physically grow and meet their developmental milestones!
