This organization changes the trajectory of kids lives and their futures, the impact in families breaks bad cycles early allowing for better life outcomes, and I wish every kid could experience Jumping Mouse. Mental Health is so important and children are so oftem overlooked in times of additional stress or trauma. 

Also a million other reasons - but ultumately, mental health matters, emotional support matters!

Jumping Mouse transforms children’s lives by providing expressive mental health therapy for as long as necessary. We nurture each child’s healthy development and supportive relationships at home and in the community.

We see children ages two to twelve for a variety of reasons, most often when they have experienced emotional stress or trauma that has deeply affected them and their families. Some are grieving the loss of someone close to them; others have experienced domestic violence, abuse, or neglect. Sometimes, they are coping with changes in family structure, or a serious illness or medical problem. When these and other stressors affect a child’s ability to communicate, to attend school, or to relate to others, Jumping Mouse can help.
