Tomorrow’s Rainbow, a prominent non-profit organization dedicated to providing grief and trauma support for children and families, has joined hands with Leadership Broward Class 42.
Their shared mission is to extend mobile mental health services to underserved communities in Ft. Lauderdale.
An alliance for change
This innovative partnership brings together Tomorrow’s Rainbow’s extensive expertise in grief support with the unwavering commitment and community leadership prowess of Leadership Broward Class 42.
Their collective aim is to address the pressing need for accessible mental health services in marginalized areas.
Set to launch in March 2024, this initiative is expected to make a significant impact on individuals grappling with grief, loss, or adversity within these communities.
Mobilizing compassionate support
Under this collaboration, two dynamic mobile programs, known as Grief on the Go and Tomorrow’s Rainbow Coping Academy, will take center stage.
These programs will create a compassionate and supportive environment for children facing loss and adversity, employing innovative and evidence-based methods—with a unique twist involving miniature horses.
Tomorrow’s Rainbow and Leadership Broward Class 42 have set their sights on breaking down the barriers to mental health care by delivering therapeutic interventions directly to the communities in need.
Through Grief on the Go and the Coping Academy, they aim to offer emotional support, problem-solving skills, and coping strategies to children aged 6 to 17.
Moreover, they will introduce at-risk youth to the therapeutic benefits of horses.
Tomorrow’s Rainbow’s unique companions
At the heart of Tomorrow’s Rainbow’s equine therapy program lies a remarkable and diverse herd.
Comprising twelve miniature horses, two miniature donkeys, two standard horses, four goats, and a beloved pig named Floyd, these gentle and empathetic animals play an indispensable role in creating a comforting environment for children to express and process their emotions, ultimately fostering healing and resilience.
Volunteers needed
To ensure the success of this transformative initiative, volunteer Program Facilitators are urgently required. Individuals driven by a passion to make a positive impact on their community and to support those in grief are encouraged to join the cause.
Volunteer training sessions, conducted by mental health professionals, will equip participants with the skills necessary to build resilience and restore hope within these underserved communities.
