THIS $25,000 GIFT FUNDS 250 HOURS OF COUNSELING FOR 14-22 YEAR OLDS, AN AGE GROUP WHICH IS HIGHLY VULNERABLE AND ESSENTIAL FOR THE FUTURE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. SKYWARD BOUND PROVIDES CLINICAL THERAPY TO HELP UNDER-RESOURCED TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS NAVIGATE THE EFFECTS OF POVERTY, WHICH HAS A LASTING IMPACT. THIS TARGET POPULATION HAS EXPERIENCED TRAUMA FROM A YOUNG AGE, INCLUDING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL ABUSE, AND IMPEDED CULTURAL IDENTITY. THE MOST COMMON STRUGGLES ARE MAJOR DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS AND ADJUSTMENT DISORDER. ALL THESE ISSUES IMPACT A PERSON'S MOTIVATION, SELF-ESTEEM, COGNITIVE ABILITY TO FOCUS AND INCREASE ONE'S STRESS LEVEL.
