Peace Ranch's 2022 First Quarter Newsletter
The Tough Get Going
With war abroad, national unrest, and difficult times in our community, our team has joined the battle to reclaim lives devastated by abuse, neglect, war, and now systemic trauma caused by the pandemic. We increased service personnel, added new programming and partnerships to broaden our capacity and ability to help. In January we hit the ground running in partnership with the Traverse Bay Children’s Advocacy Center. A collaboration begun in 2021 with the Father Fred Foundation is expanding and later this year we will receive referrals from Northern Lakes Community Mental Health for children/ youth dealing with a broad range of trauma based issues.
Internally we are on track in our long term plan of stabilization and succession planning. This year we will add a FT Caretaker to manage the ranch and oversee care of the horses and the Peace Ranch Resilience Program (PRRP) is ready to launch. With all that’s happening around us, I am exceedingly grateful to be part of such an amazing team dedicated to restoring hope and transforming lives.
