WHMB - Whole Hearts, Minds, and Bodies is a program for young people who want to approach their lives and well-being in a full and integrated way. We utilize an approach we call Nature Based therapeutic Mentoring, which combines modern therapeutic approaches with traditional mentoring to create relationships that are deliberate and nurturing. With nature as our backdrop we guide youth through multi hour activity based sessions where they learn skills and develop the capacities they need to face their challenges and meet life with confidence

Wellness - Wellness is a feeder program to whole hearts - it's our first point of contact with building relationships with all the youth we serve. We go into schools, and we do cool things. We work closely with the principles, teachers, counselors, and psychologists. We may do up to 5 sessions like a WHMB mentor situation, but call it wellness. It turns into whole hearts when it becomes long term. We are the crisis go-to's: immigration problems, medical support, interfacing with a parent, they call us.
