Giving Hearts Day is here once again, and we are grateful for the incredible support of our communities in the seven locations and surrounding areas we serve! Thanks to your generosity last year, we made many meaningful strides in enhancing our services, supporting our staff, and enriching the lives of our clients. Take a look at some of the incredible accomplishments your contributions made possible from the 2024 Giving Hearts Day donations.
Advanced Training for Specialized Care
Your donations allowed us to invest in training for:
- Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Brainspotting
- Perinatal Mental Health Certification
- Theraplay
- Personality Disorder Certification
These advanced approaches help our counselors provide highly personalized, trauma-informed care, especially for clients facing complex emotional and psychological challenges. Our amazing staff ensures clients receive the focused and empathetic support essential for their healing journey. Our commitment to ongoing training ensures that every client can access the best tools and strategies available to promote their mental health and well-being.
Expanding Reach and Supporting Families
Your generosity has helped us expand our reach and resources. A new sand tray therapy setup helps children express themselves and process emotions effectively during play therapy sessions. Additionally, we've created school-based travel kits, each containing a rolling bin filled with toys, art supplies, games like Sorry, Jenga, Uno, and Guess Who, as well as conversation cards, magnet tiles, and Play-Doh. These kits equip our clinicians to provide play-based therapy in elementary schools, fostering relationship-building, engagement, and interventions through play. By having these tools readily available, our counselors can deliver quality care on-site at schools, enhancing both the therapeutic experience for students and job satisfaction for our clinicians.
BBBS Mentorship
Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of The Village continues to inspire youth through mentoring relationships. Thanks to your support, we got to treat our BBBS matches to a Fargo RedHawks baseball game. Bigs and Littles spent the day bonding, making memories, and fostering the connections that help clear paths to bright futures. This day was just one example of how Giving Hearts Day donations are making mentorship more rewarding and impactful for everyone involved.
Empowering Intensive Outpatient Clients
In our Intensive Outpatient Program, your contributions funded new treatment resources to help decrease anxiety in our clients. These books are an essential resource, providing valuable insights and strategies to help participants navigate their journeys. Along with the books are therapeutic board games, giving clients more tools for building the skills they need for lasting wellness and stability.
Giving Hearts Day 2025
The impact of Giving Hearts Day is evident in every corner of The Village. From innovative therapies to mentoring opportunities and resources for recovery, your generosity is helping us transform lives and strengthen our communities. As we approach Giving Hearts Day 2025, we invite you to join us again in unleashing hope. Your support ensures that The Village can continue to deliver high-quality care, expand our services, and meet the needs of those we serve.
