OUR VISION
At Reclaiming Hope, our vision is to make holistic mental health support and high-quality, state-of-the-art therapies available to everyone. We understand how it feels to be ready and desperate for change, but unable to find or afford the therapeutic care needed for lasting healing. We aim to support those who are ready to begin their healing journey and the organizations that provide outstanding care.
OUR MISSION
Raising resources for transformational mental health care
Reclaiming Hope’s mission is to raise awareness and funds for partner organizations providing high quality mental health care and support services.
In partnership with our generous donors there are two primary ways we will seek to fulfill this mission:
-
We will provide grants to and help grow awareness for board approved organizations that support individuals and families journeying through crisis, trauma, and the healing process.
-
We will provide scholarships for individuals and families who need assistance covering the cost of therapy at board approved organizations.
OUR STORY
Our organization was founded by families that have experienced firsthand the struggles of being ready and desperate for quality care, but without the resources or access to the care they needed. Reclaiming Hope is dedicated to easing that burden and journeying alongside those in pursuit of healing. Our faith in a redeeming, caring, and loving God inspires us to believe that healing is possible and reclaiming hope can happen together.
A unique part of our story comes from our inspiration. Every member that helped establish this organization is connected to a special place called The Sanctuary. The Moyes family moved to Pinedale, Wyoming, in 2020 with a dream called, "The Sanctuary.” The purpose of The Sanctuary is to provide a state-of-the-art residential trauma therapy center. Our dream is to provide evidence-based clinical approaches by state-licensed clinicians, with cutting-edge experiential modalities in a beautiful setting that cultivates healing for generations to come. Specifically, The Sanctuary will serve up to 32 girls ages 17 and under. This dream is becoming a reality as they are presently in the process of bringing The Sanctuary to fruition. The Moyes' have acquired a beautiful plot of land for The Sanctuary, just 30 minutes north of Pinedale, right next to the Bridger Teton National Forest. They are in their
founding days as they are currently pouring their energy into developing plans for the lodge, establishing organizational policies, and cultivating essential partnerships. Here at RH we know this is a very big dream, and we are thrilled to watch it come to life as one of their partners over these next few years as it shifts from its humble beginning to a fully operational residential treatment center.
The families that established Reclaiming Hope did so inspired by their belief in and passion for the mission of The Sanctuary. One blessing of our non-profit status is that we are both required and honored to diversify our giving to our partners beyond The Sanctuary. Currently all of the purposeful partnerships that we support provide services that positively impact and meet needs in Sublette County, Wyoming, the home of The Sanctuary. We are aware that therapeutic treatment and holistic mental health support is a growing need worldwide, and as we continue our work with Reclaiming Hope we want our beginning days to support both the Sanctuary and the partners in our region that are connected to our mission. Our prayer and dream is that this is only the beginning of elevating hope through access to care and support, and that our work will grow beyond what we could ask for or imagine.
