Summer and Fall Community Connections

Laura Tuomisto, ATR-BC, CTT

This past summer, we had the pleasure of working with Reclaimed Hope Initiative during their summer camp, called Camp Hope, in Charlottesville, Virginia. What a joy and honor to partner with such a warm and needed agency in our community!

Reclaimed Hope Initiative is a nonprofit providing support, advocacy and healing for families who foster, adopt or have special needs. Camp Hope is a therapeutic camp for kids ages 4-12 with behavioral and mental health needs and we were invited to provide art therapy groups during the 6 week span. It was a great partnership and our team of art therapists greatly valued their time with the kids and staff! Thank you to Bettina Stevens and her awesome staff for inviting us in to work with such incredible kids!

Mental Health Fair 2021

We were thrilled to connect with the community and other professional mental health resources in our area last week at the Mental Health Fair organized by Mental Health America of Augusta at Blue Ridge Community College! We look forward to building new partnerships in working towards bettering our community's mental healthcare!
