Why This Program Matters

The Gap Is Real

Tuolumne County has fewer than 10 licensed child therapists serving 7,500 children. Families face 3–6 month waitlists. The nearest facility is 60 miles away in Modesto.

Nature Works

Research shows 120 minutes per week in nature produces measurably better health outcomes. Just 20 minutes of outdoor exposure reduces ADHD symptoms to levels comparable to medication.

Your Investment Is Leveraged

At $10.42 per child per hour, this program delivers more per dollar than individual therapy ($100–200/session). Small group care, consistent support, lasting results.
