Dr. Molly Barrow and the Imagine Children's Health Center is a wonderful source for our community, and beyond. I know of both children and adults that have received important assistance through this nonprofit agency. I work professionally in the field of education. I have witnessed students and adults achieve great success through this organization. During this anxious time of COVID-19, I would think that it would be extremely helpful for one to know of such an appropriate service opportunity. To everyone; I highly recommend the Imagine Children's Health Center.

This organization helps children become strong leaders in their home, school and community. It works at helping a child discover his/her strengths, and then guides the individual as to how to utilize these strengths best. Children enthusiastically respond well and enjoy their sessions. The results truly help guide children into being happy and productive individuals, with knowledge and self-awareness as their tools for success.

Dr. Molly Barrow, Director of IMAGINE Children's Health Center is a dedicated professional who understands the importance of mental health for our children. Many children suffer from PTSD, as adults do for many of the same reasons--a death in the family, divorce, depression, etc. These children need help and that is exactly what IMAGINE provides for the children and their families.

I first volunteered for IMAGINE Children’s Health Center during the "Walk for IMAGINE" community education event on November 30, 2014. I have had the pleasure of personally knowing the founder and executive Director for Imagine for several years. Dr. Molly Barrow’s education and 25+ years’ experience in the field of mental health have built the necessary skills and knowledge to pioneer this unique project. Her warm inviting demeanor fosters relationships that I believe, can change the lives of others. It is her ability to listen that guides individuals and groups towards a path that will lead young people to self-discovery and healing. Dr. Molly has a dream and is working hard to accomplish this necessary program for the young people of Collier County. All of Imagines board of directors are passionate about helping the youth of today and those in need reach their fullest potential by learning healthy habits, leadership skills, and coping strategies. As a teacher for fifteen years, with ten of those being in Collier County, I see firsthand on a daily basis how current issues of our youth and individual trauma can impact student lives, growth academically, as well as their interpersonal skills. These are the things that directly affect students’ future as productive members of society.
I know building community awareness of the opportunities that Imagine has and will have to offer as it grows is necessary for this program develop into the vision that is set out by Dr. Barrow herself for their future programs and campus. I know there are big plans for Imagine to grow as a foundation of services but requires supportive funding and the generosity those able, to help foster this amazing nonprofit foundation.
