Tell your story here! Why do you support Jumping Mouse?

my daughter, Sofia attended Jumping Mouse early on in her childhood at five years old. She had an amazing therapist that guided her through play and understanding her family changes. It was a very memorable time for her and we hope to bring more funding so that more children can have the same experience without a long wait.

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.
