A new Refuge Project initiative · Coming soon

Safe Harbor
Refuge Project.

We’re developing a mental health program that brings professional support and animal-assisted therapy together for people affected by trauma.

Our goal is to make mental health services available to people who cannot afford them.

Possible launch in 2027

Professional care.
A connection with animals.

Safe Harbor plans to work with licensed clinical social workers, psychiatrists, counselors, and other appropriate facilitators to support people experiencing trauma-related conditions, including PTSD and complex PTSD.

We plan to pursue certification through two major national animal-assisted therapy programs. That preparation is part of building the program.

We’re getting ready.

The program may begin in 2027. Timing, services, and volunteer roles are still being developed.

Volunteer opportunities are coming soon. Join the volunteer waitlist if you would like to hear when there is a role you can help with.

Have time for more than one role? You’re welcome to sign up for multiple opportunities during your three-month term, as long as you have time to meet each role’s responsibilities and schedule.
