The first photo was taken in June 2023, and the second in June 2026.

Over the past three years, so many children have accessed free therapy services at our Center, leaving their handprints on our tree as a symbol of their healing journey.

Seeing how much our tree has grown is a powerful reminder of the children and families who have found support, hope, and healing after abuse. It inspires us to know that these children are moving forward on their journey, and living the happy, healthy lives they were meant to lead.
