To support the changing needs of children, teens, and adults suffering from grief, loss, or trauma in the Community.
August 12, 2021 – One in twelve of Florida’s children will experience the death of a parent or sibling by the time they reach 18 years of age. In Broward County alone, that is more than 30,000 children grieving the death of a loved one. When this tragedy is exasperated by trauma, the lifelong effects are overwhelming.
Tomorrow’s Rainbow, located on a 2.5 acre mini-ranch in Coconut Creek, Florida has been an oasis for grieving children since 2005. The non-profit has helped more than 5,000 grieving children and teens through peer support groups, miniature (and large) horse interactions, and therapeutic art and play for children ages 3 – 18 along with their adult caregivers – all at no cost. “Grieving families are typically financially devastated,” says Abby Mosher, Founder and Executive Director. “It’s important that our services are accessible to all.”
Sixteen years after Tomorrow’s Rainbow emerged as the first and only stand-alone children’s grief center in Broward and Palm Beach Counties, the charity began to notice a significant increase in the number of families that were seeking out bereavement services who also had experienced trauma. “Referring these children out for individual counseling no longer made sense. Especially when we our expertise included Equine Assisted Psychotherapy – a highly effective approach to healing trauma,” stated Mosher.
Tomorrow’s Rainbow did not let a global pandemic get in the way of expanding its mission. Covid-19 only reinforced the agency’s commitment to grow. “How could we ignore a mental health crisis?” asked Mosher. “For such a long time, Tomorrow’s Rainbow was one of our community’s best kept secrets. That’s about to change.”
A rebranding and marketing campaign titled “Rebranding Hope” was made possible with financial support from the Children’s Services Council of Broward County. Armed with a fresh new logo and mission statement: Nurturing emotional wellness and resiliency for children, teens, and families experiencing grief, loss, or trauma, the local nonprofit is now able to promote Tomorrow’s Rainbow as the alternative to traditional 4 wall therapy. Services are highly effective, and because they are naturally outdoors, they follow CDC safety guidelines.
Tomorrow’s Rainbow is our community’s premier outdoor resource for solution-focused, experiential therapeutic services specializing in The Global Standard for Equine Assisted Psychotherapy & Personal Development, Eagala model.
