Dogwood Ranch Corporation

In 2022, our healing reins equine therapy team conducted just under 400 sessions, serving right at 100 unique clients. Approximately 70% of our clients were current or former foster children/youth and the other 30% consisted of other at-risk populations such as military veterans, and other individuals and families dealing with extremely traumatic histories. One completing our equine therapy program, 94% of our clients reported a reduction in anxiety and 97% reported having improved social skills. We are so thankful for the continued healing and hope that healing reins is able to provide to some of our most fragile populations.

The haven transitional living program housed, mentored and supported 8 female residents in 2022 and their 6 minor children. Working with single moms has been particularly rewarding as we have helped them gain stability in their day to day life, positively impacting their employment, financial goals and emotional well being. This has in turn helped them parent their children more successfully and maintain their independent living skills. We are proud to share that 88 treatment goals were set by our residents in 2022. 62 of those goals were met. This means that 71% of our residents' goals were accomplished/completed Dogwood Ranch was able to maintain and grow our staff, allowing us to continue serving and meeting the needs of our community. We continued to partner with multiple local agencies by way of referrals, support and combining fundraising/awareness efforts together. Additionally, our ceo continued her role as a contracted foster parent trainer for the state of mo allowing her to train and mentor new foster families as they go through the licensing process. Our ceo also continued to serve on a governor appointed foster parent advisory board where she represents her region in swmo and is currently the sitting chair of that board. Additionally, we are glad to report that Dogwood Ranch was able to add 94 new donors in 2022 and logged over 6,300 volunteer hours throughout the year
