Our Mission

Footnotes Trauma Foundation partners with Footnotes Counseling Services in response to the community need for high-quality, trauma-informed care that targets the roots of the mental health symptoms and helps real people get the help needed. The Trauma Foundation is designed to offer need-based scholarships to those with Post Traumatic Stress and specifically matches donor funds to those waiting to be served who have a history of sexual abuse or are Military Veterans. Footnotes Counseling Services is a separate yet connected entity that takes on the brunt of the costs of business. The primary objective of the Trauma Foundation is simply to offer a funding option for those wishing to access high quality care, but have a difficulty or inability to pay.

Our community has some facilities dedicated to crisis intervention needs and for skills and tools or behavioral training that is helpful in working with these complex symptoms, however they fall short of healing the original trauma wound. There is a great need beyond their immediate crisis concerns and symptom reduction. Mental health facilities are flooded with need, and most are not built around trauma informed care.
