Mission: We connect families to support and services they need in order to recover from the abduction or other traumatic events and in many cases provide the funding for these services. Our funding comes through private donations and sales from our website store. We also serve families who have lost a member in service to our country, who are reconnecting after a separation caused by military deployment, or who have experienced a loss after military post traumatic suicide. The jayc foundation provides services by utilizing treatment programs that focus on healing through traditional therapy along with animal therapy, equine therapy, and other experiential therapies. This comprehensive approach brings families together with treatment programs designed specifically for them and their unique circumstances. We also offer training to law enforcement officers so others can learn from our experience. We have been asked & are happy to present our ideas to groups of interested agencies & professionals.
Programs: The jayc foundation has provided funding for families who have suffered a familial or non-familial abduction and other traumatic events, to be able to receive individual and family therapy, equine therapy, and support services. We have also provided for several workshops for law enforcement officer trainings.
in order to raise funds, the j. A. Y. C. Foundation has sold pine cone jewelry and other merchandise online to facilitate a new beginning for many families that have been devastated by traumatic experiences, including but not limited to abductions, natural disasters, and military deployment. Donors have either purchased the pine cone jewelry or have made donations online. The funds obtained from the sale of the pine cone jewelry and donations received by the organization will be used to provide individualized assistance to families who have suffered traumatic events when healing from a traumatic event.
the foundation received a grant from the american legion to create materials for distribution. With the grant money, the foundation created the booklet entitled "creating protected spaces" that has been distributed countrywide and made available online. The foundation also produced a series of educational videos. All the materials are for mental health professionals, law enforcement, and anyone in need of helping a family recover from a traumatic event.
