It’s our 15th anniversary! In celebration, we are giving $150 to 15 nonprofits in honor of 15 Healing Trust Heroes. Healing Trust Heroes are partners who have supported us over the past 15 years and who have made our work possible. Each hero has chosen a nonprofit (via random drawing) to use the funds in support of staff care. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook to find out if your agency was selected. We will announce the winner each day at noon via social media for 15 days beginning October 16, 2017. Use our anniversary hashtag #THT15 to keep up with the campaign.
