ABOUT US

We have been in the process of launching The Growing Place Sanctuary™ on site, non residential therapeutic program for 2 years and while the need is still great and the vision and purpose is truly sound, the right location and funding (just a few million dollars is all) is slower going than we would like. 😊

When we've shared our program vision and the synergistic combination of evidence based therapies we will be offering our clients at The Growing Place Sanctuary™ the response has been the same across the board, "That sounds amazing! I want to go through that program too!" 😄 

During our meetings with potential investors, it has been mentioned that from a startup perspective, it's a good idea to have a 'proof of concept' or test pilot to show how our idea will be implemented. Basically, they said we needed a scaled down version of the end result program, in effect putting concept into action. 🤔

In addition to this, in our research around trauma and toxic stress, we discovered that our friends who claimed they wanted to go through our program along with the kiddos and families we would be helping, that 1. they were serious, and 2. for good reason! The therapies we will be offering and implementing are proven to be good for ALL human beings of ALL ages in lowering toxic stress (trauma) and building strong mental health through connection via "healthy community"!! 🤗​

For this and so many other reasons, we are incredibly excited to share GRŌ™ with you. Not only will GRŌ™ serve as our proof of concept and pilot program but it will build what we hope will become an awesome COMMUNITY for The Growing Place Sanctuary™. It will also be a real positive, life changing experience for all of our participants! We really think it has potential to become an integral piece of our program offerings that we can bring and contribute to any system in our society (general public, medical, school, law enforcement, judicial, orphan and foster care, etc.) in the future, as our programs grow. 😍
