How Phase III: Enhancing Healing Makes a Difference

Phase III invests in the spaces and programs that help Idaho’s most vulnerable youth and families heal together. These core initiatives come directly from the Enhancing Healing campaign.

Family Visitation Lodging

Creates dedicated lodging where parents and caregivers can stay on campus, so kids do not have to choose between treatment and their family connections. Families can focus on healing instead of travel costs or long late-night drives.

Equine Therapy Expansion

Grows our capacity for equine-assisted psychotherapy, giving more youth access to powerful, trauma-responsive therapy that helps them build trust, regulation, and confidence alongside a licensed clinician and therapy horse.

Therapeutic Animal Care

Ensures every therapy animal receives high quality care, safe facilities, and ongoing training so they can continue to serve kids for years to come as trusted partners in healing.

Enhancing Access

Removes barriers that keep youth from treatment, including transportation, technology, and the practical supports that help families say yes to care when they need it most.
