Helping Heal Emotionally Traumatized Children
Make A Difference In A Child’s Life
WHAT IS HOPE FLIES?
Hope Flies works to give an effective recovery space for at-risk and emotionally traumatized children. We’ve developed nature-based programs, creative outlets, and therapeutic counseling services to promote life-long success.
Our supportive community promotes leadership building, relationship skills, education, and positive decisions. Together we will advocate for the success of these children and reduce the risk of poverty, homelessness, substance abuse, or criminal lifestyles.
Programs
Children Ages 0-6
Children Ages 7-12
Youth 13-18
Ages 18+
The Hope Flies project works by introducing children to an in-house retreat program with a focus on the healing strength of nature.
The programs incorporate holistic and traditional therapy styles, including animal, art, group, and individual counseling and treatment.
The children also participate in leadership exercises, social and community events, and daily tasks. All intended to promote confidence, responsibility, and positive decision making abilities.

This April is National Child Abuse Prevention month and is an opportunity for parents and the communities that support them to take a step back, reflect on the past and present, and work toward a better future for parents and children alike.
